Summary: Order it!
Review: This movie is based on the first volume of the greatest fantasy epic of all time-The Lord of the Rings. It's the first of a trilogy-The Fellowship of the Ring.

for all the serious Tolkien fans-let's get down to the details. Like all based-on-a-book movies, it's not 100% true to the book. The main differences:
1. in the movie, Tom Bombadil was left out for simplicity. Personally, I don't mind much as I thought he was slightly annoying(though very interesting of course).
2. Glorfindel the Elf(a male) is replaced by Arwen Evenstar( a female). This really makes me mad. Arwen does not belong in the movie!
3. Aragorn and Arwen fall in love in Rivendell. In the books they don't fall in love till much later.
3. Boromir's death is placed at the end of the first movie, rather than at the beginning of the second movie. This is ok with me-I can understand that it might not be a good idea to begin the second movie with a death.
4. the showdown between Saruman and Gandalf is much scarier in the movie than in the book. They use their magical staffs to spin each other around into the air and thrust each other onto the ground.
The movie would probably be better without these differences, but it's still a great movie. Awesome special effects, beautiful music, outstanding actors, and the greatest story ever combine to make it the best movie that I have ever seen.
It's a movie that every Tolkien fan should own. I know I will!

Rating: 5 stars
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!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: the fellowship
Review: ?I saw it in theaters. In theaters It was PG-13 now on vhs it's "R". Why? Yes the movie is violent in some ways but not enough to have an "R" rating. in the Mines it is very intense. Very scarry for little kids. the Real life Look of all the actors and the action is also scarry . But it is clear that Good is aginst Evil and that is a good thing. So is the movie changing ??? The rating system is not something I can count on. this was a good movie for a kid my age to see with my parents. If it was "R" I never would have got to see it. It is Intense. I have seen it 6 times now. it is one of my favorite movies. Now my Dad is concerned about what changes have been made. These are great books and great movies. Good Vs Bad. The Movie is like what it looks like in my imigination when my dad reads to me Just not as gory.... I would have never imagined the Green Ork blood.. GROSS.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent
Review: The fellowship of the ring is a fantastic cinematic event that outdoes that other fantasy filled movie running alongside it by far. Jacksons direction is perfect, the make-up and CG effects are stunning and above all, fantastic characters are lifted by some fabulous performances. I think that mainly Elijah wood and Ian Mckellen stand out a lot, but the breakthrough role will undoubtedly be Orlando Bloom as the Elvin archer Legolas.
I give this film a five because it is undoubtedly one of the most epic and sweeping movies ever made, matched only by Braveheart for stunning battle sequences and all that we have come to expect from these sorts of movies.
Well done Peter Jackson, i can feel George Lucas trembling from here.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: This is an excellent film. Beautifully filmed scenes in elaborate sets and environments. Believable characters. My only gripe is that it ends with a cliffhanger. Hopefully the DVD will contain tons of behind-the-scenes footage and documentaries and interviews to match.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Review: Okay The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is like the best movie I ever watched!!! Frodo played by Elijah Wood the star is HOTT!! He is the HOTTEST GUY EVER!! Anyway this Movie is full of everything I WENT TO THE THEATRES SOOOOO MANY TIMES JUST TO SEE IT!!!!!! I CRIED AT THE END!!!!!!!!!! Come on this Movie ROCKS!!! Action, Drama, Comedy, Love, suspense everything a good movie needs!!!
In the Lands of Middle-earth legend tells of the Dark Lord, Sauron, and the Ring that would give him the Power to enslave the world. Lost for centuries it has been sought by many and has now found is way into the hands of the most unlikely person imaginable.
See doesnt that sound sooo MEGA KEWL? Okay I may be 14, but I know whats good, and baby this is the BEST!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lord of the Rings=WOW!!
Review: This movie is SOOOO awesome, let me tell you. If you haven't seen it, you need to, and purchase it ...(it's really hard to find it anywhere else, cheaper!) Anywho, it's not exactly like the book, but what movie is? It's really close though!! Watching the movie brought me right there with Elijah (Frodo) seeing the things he saw and feeling the same. He is an TOTALLY AWESOME ACTOR that brings the movie to life, and he is super HOT!! YOU NEED TO SEE THIS MOVIE!... NO MOVIE COLLECTION IS COMPLETE WITHOUT IT!! :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best movie of our time!
Review: I love this movie! People probably don't get the ending, but if you have read the book series, the Lord of the Rings, you would think the same as I. The acting was great, the action kept you entertained the whole time. I would diffently suggests this movie for anyone, at any age!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exactly What Tolkien Envisioned
Review: It's always a touchy subject when you're adapting a popular story for film, especially one with the following of this epic trilogy. By the time this movie finally hit the theatres, it was almost impossible to live up to the hype it had generated over the previous months (does Star Wars, Episode I, ring a bell?).

I've lost track of how many times I read Tolkien's trilogy while growing up. The amazing thing about this movie is that it is almost exactly as I pictured Middle Earth in my mind and I can't imagine it's far from what Tolkien himself envisioned.

Director Peter Jackson stays very true to the story while creating a movie that captures your attention and your imagination and holds them for almost three hours. The visuals in the movie are stunning, but not at the expense of character and plot development. This movie deserved more than the four Oscars it received and should be considered one of the best fantasy films of all time.

All I want for Christmas is my Two Towers movie!
