Summary: a supreme achievement in cinema
Review: Jackson, his cast, and team in New Zealand have created the first of what promises to be a landmark achievement in movie-making. If the Two Towers, and the Return of the King hold up, or perhaps surpass, The Fellowship of the ring in story-telling and production values, the film-going world is in for a treat. Frankly, I'll take Jackson's Lord of the Rings film(s) over anything Spielberg or Lucas have produced. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is a massive film, that is also intimate, a story that deals with serious and important ideas but does so while folding in warmth and humor. Cheers, Peter Jackson and company!

Summary: A Great Movie
Review: I'm positive that this movie was loved and adored by thousands of people. I have started reading the first book of the trilogy and the movie is so much like the book. I'm very happy that the director (Peter Jackson) took his time too make it as much as the book as he could.
This is one of my favorite fiction/advenute movie that I have seen in awhile. Elijah Wood has done a well job in this movie. Everytime I watch the preveiw for this movie it gives me chills because its such a great movie.
I also would like to comment that the cinematography in this movie is also great, and so is the directing.
Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Liv Tyler, Sean Bean, Cate Blanchett, and Ian Holm have also done magnificent jobs in this movie.
From how good this story is, it has made me want to read more about J.R.R. Tolkien. This was a very great movie. I recommend for you to watch it.

Summary: Horrible!
Review: This movie was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The editing in the movie was done horribly, often showing too much of one scene and not enough of another. The movie ran way too long; it left me checking my watch throughout the entire viewing. The dialogue was often boring, monotonous, and repetitive. I, for one, am glad that this film did not win the Oscar award for Best Picture. Save your money for something worth your time.

I am looking forward to the next two installments!This film is magical! Highly recommended!

Summary: Best Movie Ever
Review: LORF is a great movie. The best I have seen. For that I was very unhappy when it did not win "Best S. Actor, Ian McKellen" and "Best Picture"
I have read one review that said Peter Jackson nearly changed half of the book. That is true. But it is already long and those missing book parts aren't very impotant.
I was mostly shocked at the opening battle. It was great!
This totally beats Harry Potter.

Summary: The best movie of 2001, and the best movie I've ever seen!
Review: THE FILM: I would give The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 10 stars if possible! This movie is absloute perfection, and I think that it is just plain better than A Beautiful Mind. Every single cast member does an outstanding job, and I really do think that J.R.R. Tolkien's book was adapted as best as possible. The colors on this DVD jump out at you, the film translates beautifully to the small screen. While this movie runs three hours long, I found myself wanting so much more of the story- although I guess I'll have to wait until December 18th when The Two Towers is released.
SPECIAL FEATURES: I found the special features on the FOTR DVD of better quality than most people did- obviously the preview of The Two Towers is the best and most anticipated. I really enjoyed watching the trailers, featurettes, and the music video in a good quality, they are very nice to have. I would have liked even a bare bones commentary, but that's what the extended version is for, I guess. Overall, good quality specs.
MY GRADE: A+

Summary: You haven't ordered it yet???
Review: So you are looking for one of the greatest movies made. Look no further. This has got love, honor, amazing costumes, and some great digital features. I can NOT WAIT to see it on DVD. ** I heard that there is going to be *EXTRA* Footage that was left out of the theatre!! My fiancee took me to see this movie, I had NEVER read any of the book, nothing. He said you should like it! I LOVED IT! I couldnt stop talking about it after we left the theatre. And KNEW NOTHING of the backgrounds. I took it for what i saw! This movie is on that ranks up on the lists like. Jurassic Park (the first one!!!), Men in Black, and Twister! It is one of the HIGHLY GRAPHIC movies that you just can see the clearity unless you see the DVD version!! THANK YOU

Review: I think that Lord of the Rings was an excelent movie. I thought that it followed the book very well.I saw this movie 14 times and I know one person who saw it over 20 times.One of my friends saw it 12 times. So acording to me and my friends Lord of the Rings was the best movie that we have ever seen.

Summary: The best but a little short.
Review: This movie was very well done. Overall it was a very good movie. For all of you saying 3 hours is to long read the book once. If they had kept everything from the book it would have ended up about 3 days long instead of just 3 hours. I loved it in the winter and now I can't wait for it to come out on video.

Summary: An amazing film
Review: I am a huge Tolkien fan, and I believe The Lord of the Rings, the books, to be among the finest masterpieces available in literary fantasy. Not being much of a movie buff, I wasn't expecting much of the movie. This one surprised me. The characters are so real and lifelike and like the way they were in the books, especially Gandalf, played by Sir Ian McKellan. The sequence of the movie did not exactly follow the book, and in places I felt cut short, as though I was missing important details. Still, overall, the movie was an AMAZING experience and one I would recommend to every Tolkien fan everywhere.
