Summary: In a hole in the ground lived a hobbit...
Review: Based on the teaser trailers and pictures I have seen of the various sets for this movie, I think there are definite possibilities that it will live up to the huge hype surrounding it (so I have given it a premature 5 star rating). The Lord of the Rings of course belongs to the fantasy genre, and after reading the book I must say Tolkien's plot is fantasy at its best- it is amazingly imaginative and creative- the locations are well-drawn and picturesque, and the vast array of characters are delightful (or repulsive, depending on how Tolkien intended it to be).

Summary: Captures the Passion of Tolkien
Review: Having read the good professor's Lord of the Rings eight times, it was not without some trepidation that I first watched Peter Jackson's widescreen adaptation of it. I must confess I was impressed -- Mr. Jackson has managed to capture the passionate energy and soul of Tolkien's writing while nobly cutting passages that simply would not translate well to the screen. The result: a movie that stands very well on its own and invites viewers to delve into the books themselves to discover the deeper and greater world of which the film can only hint at. All in all, the film does a stupendous job in transforming the first book of the trilogy to the screen. V. well done!

Summary: hoping
Review: I havent finished reading the book yet (half way through) but from what I have read so far, its the best book ever made. Then when I learned they were going to make a movie, I was gald that they were going to make a movie that didnt have drawn people as the main characters.Then I started thinking. Can they make a live movie that can live up to the book? How can they show a balrog, who is suppose to be just evil and almost shapless? How can they show the extreme beauty of Lorothien? And what about Saroun? And how can they make us belive that Moria is such a evil place?And the Land of Mordor? I will see the movie, but my hopes aren't that high.

Summary: LOTSA LOTR!
Review: I've read the book, I've seen the trailers and I've surfed the sites. This movie will truly be one of the biggest of all time. As an avid reader of the LOTR, I was greatly excited to hear that director Peter Jackson had been given the 'go-ahead' and the huge financial backing to direct the movie series. I personally believe that Peter Jackson has both the skill and in-site to produce a movie that all LOTR fans will be happily satisfied with. Looking at what we have so far; the casting, the director, the location and of course the book - we are in for a treat! I have personally seen some of the sets and locations (shot in New Zealand) that PJ has chosen to use, believe me, this is a good as it gets.

Summary: I am so EXCITED!
Review: I am Galadriel Queen of Lothlorien here to tell you about this upcoming movie! When the very first trailor came out a year or so ago, I find that I thought it would be scarry gory ect.. movie. Now that I have reread the Lord of the Rings I find myself counting the days down to the opening day. I was thrilled to have read so maney reports on P.J (Peter Jackson) saying that they will stick to the book as much as he can. If he keeps his word you will find in the up coming movie: thrill, romance, and people trying to survive in the mist of a war with the Ring. I hope this is of some help to you, Kadi

Summary: First Movie
Review: I saw the previews for this movie, and it looks like it will be great. They did all three movies at the same time, so the actors could stay in character, and the casting looks new and fresh. I have no doubt that I will watch this movie more than ten times. We have all been waiting a while for this movie trilogy, and finally our demands are met! :) I gurantee that after this movie, millions of copies of LOTR and other Tolkien stories are going to bought by movie lovers who haven't known the world of Tolkein yet. I just can't wait, I am so excited, read on!

Summary: Guy from Calgary...
Review: .... Anyway, the trailer (espeically the second one) seems to capture the feel of the Lord of the Rings, especially the way Gandalf is portrayed (he seems very much like how I imagined him). The effects look stunning....The acting is good too, just hope they capture the feel of the Hobbit's carefree nature. I cannot wait for the release!

Summary: At last the words become motion!!!
Review: This is one of the most expected movies in the last 30 years! And thanks God it appears to be done as it should, with a great cast and a great bunch of bucks!!! No one will be disappointed, except, of course, orcs!! A great great movie and the most stunning effects and makeups really bring this unique world to life. One movie to rule them all, one movie to find us -with our mouths open wide-, one movie to bring us all -to the closest theatre-, and in the darkness -of the cinema- bind us!!!!!

Summary: More anticipated than Star Wars Episode I, perhaps?
Review: The Fellowship of the Ring, being the first installment of the Lord of the Rings "trilogy," has to be one of the most highly anticipated movies of this new millenium. Although many people tout the recent Star Wars prequel as being the "most anticipated movie of all time," I would challenge them to show just where they get their figures. But regardless of numbers, I'm sure that the combined force of the decades of non-stop popularity of Tolkien's work, the incredible following that it has acquired over the years in both children and adults alike, and the amazing world of fantasy and adventure created by the author, will prove to be the perfect ingredients required to make this movie a hit this coming Christmas. Over the next three years, I believe that we will see this movie become one of the best "book to film" movies ever, even if it's not the most anticipated.
