Summary: Overrated...VERY Overrated.
Review: I read The Hobbit a few months ago, and I liked it. Then I got to The Lord of the Rings:The Fellowship of the Ring, and it totally bored me. Tolkein makes no sense at all in that book! So why is the movie so popular??? It's nothing more than a PG-13 version of Harry Potter! This has to be THE most overrated movie I have ever, ever seen in my life. I'm so tired of people saying, "The Lord of the Rings is so awesome" and "I can't wait for the sequel!" and other things like that. Please, people, realize that this movie [is bad].

Summary: THE BEST!!!!!
Review: The Lord Of THe Rings is the best movie i have ever seen. Elijah Wood does a perfect job as Frodo and Sean Astin was a perfect Sam. All the other actors and actresses did perfectly were great too.

Summary: A truly great and awe-inspiring film!
Review: I saw this movie 5 times and each time I was sucked in right from Cate Blanchett's opening narration. Thank goodness the job of directing this trilogy was given to Peter Jackson. I cringe to imagine what it would have looked like if it had been left to your average "Hollywood" director. While I do have small quibbles with the film (where is the scene of Gimli asking Galadriel for a lock of her hair?!) there was nothing so major that could possibly ruin the experience of seeing this film. I mean, watching Ian McKellan face off against the Balrog was well worth the price of admission! I plan on buying all the DVD's and watching this movie for years to come. I look forward to the day when theatres will do special showings where they play all three films back-to-back-to-back!

Summary: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Review: The Fellowship of the Ring is probably the best movie that has been made from a book. The actors play the parts of the characters perfectly, and are totally suited to their roles. I would say that the movie is better than the book, and easier for most people to understand and like it. So far, almost everyone I know likes or loves the Fellowship of the Ring, and in my opinion (shared by many others!), it's one of the best, if not the best!

Summary: Quite Definately the Best Movie of 2001
Review: There's really not much to say. It was beautiful, an undeniable masterpiece. If you love the books, you'll love the movie. Heck, I did. It's not exactly the same, but it's as accurate as we're getting, unless we'd like a 6 hour movie. So Arwen may have stolen Glorfindel's horse and Tom Bombadil was nowhere to be seen. No big deal. The thrilling soundtrack and wonderful acting more than make up for it.Though, from a true Tolkien fan - not one of you new movie fans - The Two Towers and Return of the King will probably completely kick its bum. But that's just because the books are so much better.

Summary: MY FAVORITE MOVIE!!!! or DVD
Review: If you like fantasy, action, or drama, this is the film for you!!! A little note to girls...plenty of cute guys in it! Anyways I never read the Tolkien books before but when I went to see the movie...I couldn't wait to start! After the second time (yes I saw it 2 times) I bought the book. I have now finished the trilogy and am starting on The Silmarillion, which is another Tolkien book. I reccomend this movie for any age and every age! It'll leave you speechless! I was.

Summary: TOTALLY OBSSESSED!!!!
Review: I have seen the movie 16 times, I have 3 part-time jobs to feed my hunger for LOTR merchandise, I have made all my friends see it at least twice. Need I say more? After that Phantom Menace fiasco, I've been waiting desperately for something like this to happen. I've also been waiting for Elijah Wood, my favorite actor for 10 years, to hit it big time. I am grateful that I'm alive to see this...I believe that The Fellowship of the Ring has its faults, but they are obscured into oblivion in the blinding beauty and grandeur of the entire production. Sure, I can do without the scene with 'breakdancing' wizards, which is painful to watch, really. But how can you complain when the Nazguls jump out at you with maximum terror? Or when the Fellowship breaks down in tears after Gandalf falls? Or when Frodo gazes into Sam's unwavering face and says "Sam, I'm glad you're with me"?
The amazing acting, artistry, and technical wizardry all come to life in perfect grace and harmony under the leadership of Peter Jackson, who I presume would achieve the status of George Lucas after all three trilogies are released. My hope is that next year, the Oscars will realize its mistake and commend the people who REALLY deserve it. The preview of the The Two Towers guarantees that it will be grander, scarier, and better than The Fellowship of the Ring. The journey has just begun, and millions of fans including myself won't miss it for the world.

Summary: Greatest Hollywood film of all time!
Review: The ultimate battle between good and evil! Even better than Star Wars in efforts of a battle between good vs. evil.
Excellent storyline. The movie is three hours long(in the theatre version) and you never lose interest in the movie, it's that good!
Parts of it can be scary and a little frightening, the bad guys are pretty ugly. No nudity, no violence, no sex, and no bad language, but does have some battle scenes. Saw it three times in the theatre, best movie I've ever seen!

Summary: What a non-sense (of course if you have not read the book..)
Review: ... I have not read the book - and the movie did not make ANY sense to me. I keep a naive believe that a movie should live a life of its own, and indeed one should not read the libretto but understand the flick and enjoy it as it is. None of which happens with this monstrous production. This is a fantasy run amok, a movie full of special effects to the extent that you can't see the story behind them. And with all that noise and fury it is devoid of any sense so that nothing but a yawn results. After all it is supposed to be a tale - not an agressor jumping at you from the screen like a crocodile. I wonder what J.T would say....

Summary: greatest movie of all time
Review: This dvd is SPECTACTULAR. It is 3 hours ,but is worth your wait. I keep wanting to see it again and again after I see it. It is on of my favorite movies and I have seen lots of movies. Ian Mckellen is WONDERFUL as Gandalf. The special efects are great. The movie starts to get good early so you don't have to be bored while watching it. There are LOTS of awesome parts in the movie. And has a great plot.
