Summary: Well done
Review: The Lord of the Rings book is one of the most read fantasy books in the world. It is therefore not surprising that the Fellowship of The Ring movie has been well recieved by most diehard fans (including myself). Those that were initiated to, and became fans to this fantastic world of fantasy desired, dreamed, wished for something more visual to appear during their lifetime. Along came a 1978 animated version, which brought many of us to the cinemas in great expectation. Alas, although it had some appeal, the trilogy was never completed and became most of all, a teaser.
I do not wish to comment on the technical qualities of this latest movie, that will be left up to those critics deemed professionals and those that are deemed not. However, I would like to thank Mr Peter Jackson for his roll in bringing to life the visual life of the book. I have totally enjoyed watching the movie, you have done the best you can in keeping to the spirit of this wonderful story, and I commend you. All that I demand of my life is that the good lord watch over me, at least until the end of 2003......then I will be content.

Summary: Absolutely THE movie of the milennium!
Review: The Lord of the Rings book itself is a masterpiece, Peter Jackson has outdone himself in making the written masterpiece visual. The dialogue is great, the action has you on the edge of your seat, the actors are awesome, and the scenery will make you forget that this movie was actually filmed in New Zealand rather than Middle Earth itself. If you have not read the book, this movie will not be hard to understand, I have brothers and sisters who are under 10 and have not read the book yet, but they liked the movie so much that they watched it about 25 times. This extended edition is even more beautiful then the original version. There are even more witty dialogues and a great scene of the elves leaving Middle Earth to journey to the Grey Havens. Even though that scene is no more than 5 minutes long, I was amazed by the footage of it so whenever I hear "The Lord of the Rings extended version", that is the first image that comes to mind. I strongly urge you to buy this dvd, pop popcorn, and sit back to enjoy the greatest movie of its time!

Summary: This is the most incredible movie I have every seen!!!
Review: The Lord of the Rings books have always been my favorites, and when I saw the movie it left my imagination full of epic and creativity. If you want adventure-epic sort of movie, see this one. It was filmed in New Zealand where it almost IS the middle-earth. It's so beautiful there. Great actors and actresses, too. Elijah Wood was amazing at playing Frodo, while Ian Mckellen was amazing at Gandalf. It also has Christopher Lee playing Saruman the white. My two top favorites though were Liv Tyler and Cate Blanchett. Liv was Lady Arwen and Cate was Lady Galadriel. They played strong women who have lots of power and dignity.(If you get the impression that i'm a girl, I am) Great actors, great locations, great filming. Spectacular movie!!!

Summary: The Fellowship can not be broke.
Review: The Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring is one of the best movies of the century and to tell you the truth I fell asleep the first time I saw it because it starts out slow and to some boring but wait until the Hobbits (Frodo,Sam,Mary,and Pippen)leave the Shire (where the Hobbits live) and they meet Strider-Arragon (Vigo Morrtinson)and start their trip to Mordor to destroy the ring.When the action really begins is when they go to Rivendel (where the elves live) and that is when the fellowship is made.The fellowship has 1 wizard,4 hobbits,2 human men,1 dworf,and 1 elf.Legolas is the elf who like all elves is talented when it comes to the bow and arrow.Gimley is the dworf who is swift with an axe and is very small.Boremiere is 1 of the men who is good with a sword and shield.Arragon-Strider is the other man who is good with a sword and the bow and arrow.Gandolf is the wizard who is the only one who knows the way to Mordor.Mary and Pippen are the hungry hobbits that always mess up but will do anything to help the fellowship.Sam is the scared hobbit that is best friends with Frodo.Frodo is the main charecter who holds the ring and will do anything to destroy the ring.This is a long movie that may get slow at parts but it is worth it but if you want an all out action movie with pretty much no slow parts, that is The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers.Even if your not intrested in buying the special edition see this movie.You won't regret it.

Summary: My opinion.
Review: The Lord of The Rings in my opinion is the greatest fantasy tale of all time. With all the stories in this field it surpasses all others with it's deep history, richness in characters, and completely breathtaking scenery. The story is one I beleive that will survive for many generations to come along with the movies to be considered masterpies for a long time coming.

Summary: Lord of the Reviews!
Review: The Lord of the Rings is a fantasy film with heart wit and humor.
I admired the performances of the Stars: Elijah Wood,Sean Astin,Ian Mckellen,Viggo Mortensen, and Liv Tyler. Parents beware though because there are a few scary monsters and an evil spell turns two people into monster like people. There are also a few sword duels, some slapstick peril, and 2 mildly bloody battles. But aside from that this film is great!!! The Extras include 14 Short interview featurettes, and 3 film featurettes, plus a preview of the more Story Supported Sequel,The Two Towers.

Summary: The Lord of the Rings Review by Jennifer Ziolko
Review: The Lord of the Rings is a film by Peter Jackson and a New Line Cinema release. It is a 2001 release and is approximately 3 hours in length. It was nominated for several Academy Awards including "Best Picture", "Best Screenplay Adaptation", "Best Director", and "Best Actor", Ian McKellen, among others.
This film is about a hobbit trying to destroy the one ring which has the power to destroy middle earth. It is Part 1 of a Trilogy. The fellowship is united which includes a dwarf, an elf, 2 men, a wizard, and four hobbits. They, together will protect the hobbit, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), on his way to destroy the ring.
I give this film 5 stars because I thought the whole movie was very well done. The scenery, the acting, the special effects, and the evil men were done very well too. Everything was so big. I think this movie is one of the best movies that has came out in long while.

Summary: "The greatest Movie Ever"
Review: The Lord of the Rings is a great movie. After reading the trilogy many times I found that this movie has almost perfect comparison to the books. The casting was superb, everyone looked great.I was very pleased when I came out of the movie theater that day,and in my opinion it couldn't have made Christmas more special. :)

Summary: Lord of the Rings?
Review: The Lord of the Rings is a very long movie, while most people found this movie interesting or enganging, I was turned off by it's length and low points. There are several action scenes that make this film fun to watch, but there are also several scenes that scared my 5 and 8 year olds out of the room. Why 4 stars? Cinematically speaking this film is well planned and executed, great sound track, excellent shots of the actors, great story line, and it leaves you wondering or wanting more. Definitely a collectors edition if sci-fi is your interest or are a follower of the the ring bearer.
