Summary: Why Amazon should offer 6 stars..
Review: This movie deserves more then 5 stars.ACTION and SUSPENSE
Tons, from the battle at the beginning to the Ringwraiths, to the mines of Moria and Khazad-dum to a fantastic ending at Amon Hen. You'll love the cliffhanger. CHARACTERS
The movie explores characters emotions, dreams and weaknesses, like Aragorn's lineage, Gimli and the fate of his dwarf relatives, Boromir and the powers of the Ring, and ofcourse the power of friendship, seen especially with Frodo and Sam. LENGTH
It's 3 hrs long but doesn't feel it. This movie keeps your interests until the very last second, and when it ends you'll be begging for more. VIOLENCE
The movie has some action packed scenes that contain swordfights against scary looking monsters as if they were from nightmares. The orcs and the Ringwraiths may be scary for younger viewers. OVERALL
This is a great film, and the future movies will be even better. A treate for Tolkien fans like me, and even non-readers will find themselves transported to Middle Earth for Frodo's adventures.

Summary: Lord Of The Rings-WOW!
Review: This movie doesn't disappoint Tolkien fans. The imagery is spectacular, the story true to J.R.R.'s writing's and the special effects are seemless. Peter Jackson deserves a major pat on the back for a job well done in both directing and having great people behind his vision. The casting is perfect and New Zealand is awesome as Middle Earth. If you haven't seen it go! If you have go again. I've seen it twice and am itching for the DVD to come out.

Summary: A Worthy Portrayal of the Book
Review: This movie eclipses all previous attemtps at filming the what I consider to be the best novel I've ever read. The technology has finally arrived to portray the great armies of orcs, cavernous domains of the dwarves, and the hidden woodland realms of the elves. The actors filled their roles admirably, and the direction was exquisite. My only objection is that the movie at times deviated signifigantly from the book itself, but not to the point where it irrevocably changed the story; hence my award of 4 instead of 5 stars. Altogether a movie well worth seeing.

Summary: Beautiful, breathtaking, stunning....words fail me....
Review: This movie exceeded all of my expectations. That's saying a lot, considering that they were very high. I hoped the movie wouldn't ruing the book (like most movies do), I hoped it would bring the magical world to life, I hoped it would retain the serious and dark tone, etc., etc. I got all that and more. The acting was wonderful. The special effects were flawless. The movie was still dark and serious (but don't worry, the hobbits still had cute furry feet). It followed the book very faithfully. And the very best part was just how well it brought that world to life! The sets were unbelievable. I wished places like that truly existed. The hobbits were tiny, the elves were lithe, graceful...elvish, the characters true not only to the book but true to life. This movie was everything it could have been and more. (Just like AI could have been so much but didn't quite make it all the way. Just like the first 2 Batman movies were good and dark, before they deteriorated) All right, enough from me. I think I;ve gien you more than enough reason to at least rent it before buying.

Summary: Excellent Movie
Review: This movie far exceeded my expectations. As a long time reader of Tolkien's works I viewed turning LOTR into a movie with much apprehension. However, most of my fears have proven groundless as this is a truly exceptional movie. Possibly one of the greatest of all time. Obviously there is no way to fit everything from such a rich and well rounded story onto the screen but Peter Jackson did an amazing job at capturing the vital elements. The only major complaint I have is how Aragorn is portrayed as somehow not having "kept the faith". The man goes into the wilderness for 70 years (he is 90 at the time of the LOTR) toiling endlessly for the cause of good, only to be casually dismissed by Elrond (in the movie) as having turned away from his destiny... That however, is my only real complaint. One of the things I loved the most about this production was how it showed aspects of the characters not portrayed in the book. Things like Boromir teaching the hobbits sword fighting around the fire, greatly enhance the story and shows the bond between the members of the fellowship. Gandalf's deep love of the Shire and his desire to protect it at all costs is portrayed wonderfully too. And lets face it, Ian McKellan IS Gandalf. What an amazing performance. For the uninitiated, I would recommend going over a companion guide or summary prior to seeing the movie. The sheer volume of details packed into this production could definitely cause confusion at times.

Summary: A movie to rule all
Review: This movie had everything a fantasy was suppose to have. Obviously one of the great movies of it's time (and surpassing the nonimaginative and terrible Harry Potter movie), this film includes terrific acting from everybody and visual effects that match the tone and mode of the story (not over or underdone). A great movie that eveyone should see.

Summary: Lord of the Rings
Review: This movie had it all!! It fairly closely followed the novel without dragging on as some lenthy stories tend to do. The cinematography was awe-inspiring and truly took digital imaging to its limits. Highly, highly recommend this movie.

Summary: HOW BORING!!!!!!!!!
Review: This movie had to be one of the most boring movies i have ever seen. I did not care to see it in theaters and wasn't going to rent it but one of my friends said it was a good movie. So i rented it and I had to turn it off in the middle of the movie, it was so boring, the scenes werent moving I would have much rather watched Harry Potter which is way better than this geek movie. Save your money and buy/rent another movie!!!!

Summary: I don't know what there is to add
Review: This movie has been talked to death so much, what else canI say? The acting, the direction, the music, and the effects are all superb, as is the writing, which is overlooked I think. This is an expertly crafted film that retains all that made the Tolkien novel a fun ride while excising what wouldn't have worked for the screen. What stands out for me, however, is how Peter Jackson fleshed out the 'horror' elements in the script. This movie has some great 'jumps' in the old style tradition of 'scary c r a p happening all of a sudden, making you jump two feet out of your seat'. I do think the film loses a little momentum near the end, but that has more to do with the place where the film leaves its characters than a weak ending. This is a rich and rewarding film, even for a non-fanboy like myself. And as always, it's nice to see Christopher Lee get some work.

Summary: This movie is the Greatest!
Review: This movie has great scenery! The location and the special effects were outstanding. The characters were believable and hansome. Especially the character (he was an elf - he used a bow and arrow)! :>) I cannot wait to purchase this DVD!
I don't purchase many DVD's but this one you must buy.
You will not regret this purchase.
