Summary: BEST MOVIE EVER MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I can hardley put into words how much I loved the Lord of the Rings. It was the most excellent, wonderful, exciting, breath taking movie ever. It bothers me when people tell me that they don't want to see it, or when they tell me that they don't like it. The action was wonderful. I went to it before I read the book and I loved it. I loved it so much that after I saw it I started to read The Hobbit and then the Lord of the Rings. Most people complain that the movie was too long. I wouldn't mind if it was a few hours longer. So if you haven't seen this wonderful movie, than I suggest that you do if you want to see the best movie ever made.

Summary: I can hardly wait for the next two and HOPEFULLY DVD's . . .
Review: I can hardly wait for the next two and HOPEFULLY DVD's of the entire trilogy. Others have described the changes/omissions and substitutions. I read this the first time in 1967 and probably a total of ten times. It is faithful to the spirit of the books. The casting is quite awesome. The movie, all in all is superb. It is one of the greatest movies of all time . . . even for those who have not read the books!

Summary: Lord of the Rings on DVD - a must buy
Review: I can highly recommend Lord of the Rings after purchasing it on DVD and watching it at the cinema, twice. I was first introduced to Tolkien when I bought Lord of the Rings, The Simarillion, and The Hobbit as a triple book collection, and my heart was captured in the realms of Middle-Earth so exquisite was JRR Tolkien's words. Peter Jackson's adaptation take's nothing away from the brilliance of the book, a feat many thought impossible when translating to the big screen, or even in this case for the little one. To watch Tolkien's work come to life is a whole new adventure in imagination, and rather than quashing the mind's eye view of Middle-Earth it actually creates new depths to create a rich interwoven tapestry of cinema and imagination. Watch the DVD but keep the book handy as you'll want to travel through the lands of Middle-Earth with your own imagination. JRR Tolkien is a god of literature, and Peter Jackson should be highly commended for his craft as a director.

Summary: The Only One
Review: I can honestly say it is the only film/book combination where I prefer the film by far to the book. Full credit to Peter Jackson and the cast and crew for allowing us an insight into Tolkein's world. First time round I felt it was too long but the second, third and fourth time of viewing increased my love of the film and especially the hairy fairy Legolas. I want more!

Summary: 21st Century Classic
Review: I can honestly say with no exaggeration that I sat throughout the movie riveted
for every second of those three hours (And it is very seldom indeed I can say that about a movie,even one of my favourites)
Indeed it was as close as anyone could ever come to reproducing Lord of the Rings on the Big Screen . Ive been a Tolkien fan since the age of 13 in 1985 when I was first spellbound by The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings
and now seeing Middle Earth actually come to life on the screen is amazing. The essence of the movie was so close to that of The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien's World that I could only think after everything I saw 'So this is Middle Earth' , 'So this is The Shire' , 'So this is Moria' , 'So this is Isengard' , 'So this is Lothlorien etc
The scene at the beginning describing the history of The Rings was a masterstroke going straight by contrast to the peaceful Shire The caste was fantastic.

Summary: Why you are reading this review
Review: I can only imagine how fortunate you must feel to be reading my review. This review is the product of my lifetime of experience in meeting important people and thinking deep thoughts. This is a new kind of review, and will no doubt influence the way you think about the world around you and the way you think of yourself. Bigger than infinity
Although my review deserves thousands of pages to articulate, I am limiting many of my deeper thoughts to only single characters. I encourage readers of my review to dedicate the many years required to fully absorb the significance of what I am writing here. Fortunately, we live in exactly the time when my review can be widely disseminated by "internet" technology and stored on "digital media", allowing current and future scholars to delve more deeply into my original and insightful use of commas, numbers, and letters.
My place in history
My review allows, for the first time, a complete and total understanding not only of this but *every single* DVD ever made. I call this "the principle of DVD equivalence." Future generations will decide the relative merits of this review compared with, for example, the works of Shakespeare. This effort will open new realms of scholarship. More about me
I first began writing reviews as a small child, where my talent was clearly apparent to those around me, including my mother. She preserved my early writings which, although simpler in structure, portend elements of my current style. I include one of them below (which I call review 30) to indicate the scholarly pedigree of the document now in your hands or on your screen or committed to your memory:
"The guy who wrote the book is also the publisher of the book. I guess he's the only person smart enough to understand what's in it. When I'm older I too will use a vanity press. Then I can write all the pages I want."
It is staggering to contemplate that all the great works of literature can be derived from the letters I use in writing this review. I am pleased to have shared them with you, and hereby grant you the liberty to use up to twenty (20) of them consecutively without attribution. Any use of additional characters in print must acknowledge this review as source material since it contains, implicitly or explicitly, all future written documents.

Summary: Breathtaking
Review: I can only say say one word about this movie...breathtaking. This was one of the best movies i have saw all year. I loved every minute of it, although it was long. The scenery was beautiful and the costumes amazing. The ringwraiths costumes were outstanding. It's amazing just to watch them move as they ride. This was a great story. Peter Jackson did a fantastic job. I'll be waiting in anticipation for next year when the next installment of the Lord Of the Rings trilogy is released.

Summary: Best ever
Review: I can safly say that The Felowship of the Ring was the best movie I ever saw. It was funny, exciting and romantic and it followed the book so well. I hope every sees it at least once. Myself, I've seen it 3 times :)

Summary: I was left speechless
Review: I can't begin to put into words how amazing this film is, but I'll give it a shot. First let me say that it should've won best picture at the oscars.
This movie does what few others have done before it, it makes you feel as though you are in middle earth, that you are there with them. The last movie to absorb the audience this well was Star Wars, so that tells you how terrific this film is when it is being compared to Star Wars. Ian McKellan was superb as the wise wizard Gandalf and Sean Astin gave a subtle and perhaps overlooked performance as Frodo's friend Samwise. And we can't forget the talented Orlando Bloom who shot those arrows like there was no tomorrow. This movie will live on forever. I think I can say this without seeing the other two, but this is going to be the best triology since the Star Wars triology.

Summary: Childish claptrap for the Star Wars crowd
Review: I can't believe I wasted three hours on an orgy of childish, quasi-mystical good-vs-evil claptrap, only to have this poor excuse for a movie end with a cynical cliff-hanger designed to lure everyone back into the theater for the sequel. An embarrasment for otherwise fine actors like Holm and McKellen.
