Rating: Summary: Great Movie. Review: My favorite one of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. I don't know why because there are some scenes in the movie that scare the heck outta me! The 1st part of LOTR describes a fellowhip of 9 going out to Mordor to destroy the One Ring created by the dark lord, Sauron. If Sauron regains the ring, Middle Earth is doomed, if he doesn't, then Sauron will fall. Rated: PG-13 For Epic Battle Sequences and Scary Images. Rinning Time: 178 minutes.
Rating: Summary: LOVED IT! Review: I was one of a few who missed THE LORD OF THE RINGS: FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGS at the theatres, as I didn't know if I'd be interested. Although I knew about the books, I was never interested in reading them also. I actually didn't see the film until it was released on DVD (the non-extended version). I borrowed it from a friend. I sat through it and boy was I ever shocked. When the movie ended, I felt almost embarrassed because I actually got up in my living room, by myself, and clapped. I could not believe that I missed this at the theatres where the impact would have been much greater. I raved to everyone about how great this movie was - of course, they already had seen it. So I felt behind the times. I could not wait until the release of the Extended version on DVD, which I now own. I learned my lesson and will listen to my friends on movies like this. Bottom line - just watch this and enjoy yourself. Cheers to everyone involved with the making of this movie.
Rating: Summary: Incredible movie Review: I am a huge Lord of the Rings fan, from Lord of the Rings books (the novels and books about making the movie and the characters), to posters of the gorgeous Legolas, calendars, bookmarks, desktops, and of course the movies. I just love it all! Having read the Lord of the Rings books, and hearing people say that Peter JAckson destroyed the real meaning of the book, and that it was nothing like it. And my response has been, so what? Peter Jackson did not destroy the books at all, he just reinvented the story in a way that would be entertaining to all generations including hardcore Tolkien fans such as myself. What people need to understand is that movies and books are both different kinds of art, and instead of stealing all of Tolkien's incredible ideas, Peter Jackson based it on Tolkien's work so it is not supposed to be identical to the book. Besides, if Jackson made it identical it would not only be stealing, and a total lack of creativity, but also around 6 hours. The Lord of the Rings was plenty long, so unless you want to sit around and watch a 6 hour movie shut up about Jackson doing a horrible job. The Lord of the Rings: 5 stars all the way, but it deserves more!
Rating: Summary: Best movie EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: Before I even saw the movie,I didnt want to see it! Dont ask me why!Probbaly coz my brother LOVED it,and nearly all of the movies he likes,I hate. But it was a christmas night when all of my family from all over the world,piled into my house and watched it. I loved it!! Not only does it has hot talent,hot directing,hot scenery,hot story line,but also hot guys! This makes it a class A+ movie! Not one little thing was over looked. All of the actors were perfect and so were the outfits and how they looked. I dont know WHY Peter Jackson hasnt won Best Directer yet,coz this movie makes Titanic look like a row boat that crashed into a rock!
Rating: Summary: Buy the Extended version but not the widescreen format Review: Get the fullscreen format for this movie since the widescreen format is too small. It only will show the movie on half of the TV screen. The extended version really shows the whole story. The documentary & the making of the film shows how great this movie really is.
Rating: Summary: A Note to Easily Influenced Readers Review: The fact that this is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen aside, I would like to address a little problem I've seen with some of these reviews. The only reason the general rating for this movie is 4.5 stars is because of those individuals giving it 1 star in order to sound intellectual and "above" mainstream. I see right through the garbage written about this movie. Even I, not apt to follow mainstream values and ideology, can appreciate such rare gems such as this which have been incorporated into pop culture. Simply don't listen to any reviewer giving it such a chinsy rating! All that being said, I apologize for my tone and unnaturally long sentences. And check out the extended edition. It's even better.
Rating: Summary: Amazing movie with a gripping story! Review: This movie is very good. I think this movie is one of the best movie with it's sequels, and books. Movies like Harry Potter or some other movie that has a book to go along with it is not as good. I have seen all the Harry Potter movie's and it's good, but simply not as good as LOTR Fellowship of the Ring. This movie has very good story. The book has more details with things but the movie is much shorter. But I like the fact that they made a movie and I finally got to see the novels in a motion picture. The amazing story with its' good action, fighting, and romance makes the movie like a masterpiece. I get all emotional and frustrating everytime I see someone dying or getting stabbed all the time (Frodo). The movie not only has good actions and great story, it has good looking actress and goos actors that really acts like a pro. Those actors really fit by their looks and roles. God, I'm so amazed. I have never seen a movie this good. Harry Potter seems like a kids' version of LOTR and other nice movies never have good story like LOTR did. Specially, I recommend that you get the full screen edition because you will enjoy it better than the widescreen editions. I really get annoyed of the widescreen editions. The bonus scenes are good extras and try to watch all the movies. The Two Towers, and The Return of the King (in theatre). You should also get the books and read it even though the movie is more fun the book has more details. Even the game if you are into it. I hardly recommend this movie. You will enjoy it very much.
Rating: Summary: Theatrical Version of the first installment: brillant. Review: The Fellowship of the Ring, theatrical version, is in my opinion, the best movie of 2001. Therefore, of course you need to own it on DVD. The amount of special footage that Peter Jackson and his crew have stuffed on these DVDs is unmatched these days. However, if you have to decide between the extended version and this version, I would go for the extended version. Unless you're an obsessive fan and need both anyhow. After seeing the quality of the "cut" stuff from the Fellowhship EE, I realized the main reasons for their editing was either time or some sort of minor pacing issue Peter Jackson had. Neither of which are a problem on DVD and I would by all means, rather have the extended version.
Rating: Summary: aragorn and legolas...does it get any better? Review: i am completely obsessed with the two lotr dvds. aragorn is other-realm hot and legolas is perhaps even hotter..besides the long blonde hair. orlando bloom looks much better with brown. aragorn is so fearless and awesome!!!!! legolas is so skilled with the arrows. and that scene when they are fighting with rohan and legolas swings up on the horse!! that is sweet ass sweet!!!!! and the part in the battle of helm's deep when he sails down the steps on that metal thing shooting arrows. he's just so quick!! i love both of them. and eowyn can go to hell...arwen was made for aragorn and we all know it.
Rating: Summary: One of the best DVDs of all time. Review: This DVD is any fan's dream. Packed with behind the scenes features, and additional footage, this DVD is even better than the theatrical version. Somehow Peter Jackson and New Line have managed to outdo themselves once again!
