Summary: Simply stunning - a must see.
Review: I was a bit skeptical from all the hype that this movie produced, but as always, I was surprised by the outcome.

This movie was simply amazing. First, the casting... each of the characters were casted perfectly, I think. Each did a wonderful job of bringing out the emotions of all the characters in the books... you can especially see this in Frodo, and you can see he actually looks incredibly frightened at times. The expression of the characters was fantastic, and I praise the actors for bringing this out so well.

The effects - well, what to say about them? They were amazing as well. Everything looked so real, I sometimes forgot I was watching a mere film. The CG looked all real as well, almost too realistic. You'll enjoy watching the film, since you feel like you're sort of... part of the experience.

I have to say that just a few things bothered me - one, the amount of times they used the slow motion effect on the camera, and two, the fact that just a few bits of this movie were slightly cheesy. You can't really expect it to be all perfect, though, and you soon forget the movie's flaws.

I'd say this is, quite possibly, the best movie I've ever seen. I thorougly enjoyed watching it, and I simply can't wait 'till the next two come out. I hope they're as great as the first one.

Summary: Well done
Review: The Lord of the Rings book is one of the most read fantasy books in the world. It is therefore not surprising that the Fellowship of The Ring movie has been well recieved by most diehard fans (including myself). Those that were initiated to, and became fans to this fantastic world of fantasy desired, dreamed, wished for something more visual to appear during their lifetime. Along came a 1978 animated version, which brought many of us to the cinemas in great expectation. Alas, although it had some appeal, the trilogy was never completed and became most of all, a teaser.
I do not wish to comment on the technical qualities of this latest movie, that will be left up to those critics deemed professionals and those that are deemed not. However, I would like to thank Mr Peter Jackson for his roll in bringing to life the visual life of the book. I have totally enjoyed watching the movie, you have done the best you can in keeping to the spirit of this wonderful story, and I commend you. All that I demand of my life is that the good lord watch over me, at least until the end of 2003......then I will be content.

Summary: This is the best movie ever!!
Review: The first time I watched The Fellowship of the Ring, I was simply stunned. I have never seen such an amazing movie in my life, and don't hope to ever again (except for the next two!!) The characters were extremely well developed, and true to the books. The setting was absolutely beautiful! Some things were changed from the book, but overall I thought the whole thing was extremely well done. I've seen The Fellowship of the Ring four times so far, and it's been fabulous every time! I can't wait to see it again!

PS: I truly can't believe the people that rated this movie any lower than five stars. I don't know what their problems are, but don't let these people's reviews stop you from seeing the best movie ever made!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Part 1 : The Fellowship of the Ring (newest cult classic)
Review: After countless movies that I gave so many simpathy votes to in 2001 the 3 only movies that I actually thought was worth it to go see, being #1 Lord of the Rings. Now I can understand some people just plain hated the movie cause how it appeals to a curtain audiance. my mom honestly thought it was a stupid movie ,but she was expecting a "Harry Potter" type of movie to see. Most of the people who liked it were either fans of the books or wanting to see something better than "The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings cartoons". Knowing me I go to anything, and I can either say it ... or it rocks ,but LOTRPT1 grasped me throughout the entire 3hrs. It had a sense of style by the direction of the very talanted Peter Jackson. It follows through from beginning to end ,but leaving a very mysterious ending to the next of the Trilogy.....The two towers. PART 1 may not be better than the book ,but it carries out cause no movie I have seen has ever taken an entire book and put every detail to it, so I try to pretend it's somewhat else than what the book has to offer. There is high hopes for Part 1 cause of it's graphics that are 10 times better that the original Star Wars (including the special edition!!!) and who said Lord of the Rings cannot be made into a movie! I know some people who say Part 1 is better that Harry Potter ,but I tend to say it appeals to other audences (Harry Potter was #2 on my list). Harry Potter is the "wizard of oz of our time! (damn those christain group who really don't know what they are actually saying about Harry Potter)and Lord of the Rings is the next Star Wars and some day Lord of the Rings will be those cult classics that at our video rental stores that are never there . I think if New Line is doing well with theater box office wait until video!!!!!! Part 1 was so good, I can't wait for the second half!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "The greatest Movie Ever"
Review: The Lord of the Rings is a great movie. After reading the trilogy many times I found that this movie has almost perfect comparison to the books. The casting was superb, everyone looked great.I was very pleased when I came out of the movie theater that day,and in my opinion it couldn't have made Christmas more special. :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: greatest movie ever made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: The fellowship of the ring was far better than I expected!! I loved the action scenes and was greatly suprised at how actually creepy the nazgul(ringwraiths or dark riders)were! New Zealand was the best place to shoot the scenes. My favorite characters were Aragorn, legolas, frodo and the other hobbits and the ringwraiths. I think that Elijah Wood matched frodo perfectly and that if they chose any other person to play frodo it wouldn't match. All the cast played and looked quite similar to what I imagined them looking and acted like when I read the lord of the rings books. I can't wait till the two towers and the return of the king come out in theaters and I'm going to see them the same amount of times that I saw the fellowship of the ring (8 times) or more!!!! I loved every scene in this movie and loved the beautiful backround scenes

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Only the best movie ever!
Review: This is the only movie I have ever seen where I concluded that the movie was better than the book. I started reading the Fellowship of the Ring last year, but I could't get into it. Around November, I realized the release of the movie was approaching, so I finished the book. Hey, my friends make fun of me for seeing it twice and talking about it a lot, but I still think it's the best movie ever!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An absolutely amazing film!
Review: I have read all the books (including The Hobbit) so I was very excited when I heard that they were making a movie. I didn't expect the movie to be as good as the book, but it lived up to and surpassed my expectations. I actually liked the movie as much as,if not more than the books. I would suggest everyone go out and see this movie. Elijah Wood gave a stunning performance as Frodo Baggins. He fits the character perfectly. I look forward to seeing him in other films. The special effects were as much a part of the movie as the actors. The movie is very, very long, (about 3 hours) but as long as you don't get a large drink and you are into the movie it shouldn't matter.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutlely Great!
Review: I love this movie and I've heard that you have to like the books to like the movie. I wouldn't know. I love 'em both and can't wait for the 2nd and 3rd and them to come out for buying!
