Summary: Adds just a little bit more..
Review: Despite Peter Jackson trying to stay true to the story, there is allot missing in the movie. But if he tried to put everything in the novels on screen it would have been 6 hours not 3 1/2..Yet the added 1/2 of additional scenes does make a noticable difference. It's amazing how just a few additional seconds in a scene helps flesh out the story and brings it that much closer to the novels. For those who love the novels buy it - for those who have never read it - I honestly don't think you'd notice the difference..

Summary: excellent
Review: By necessity the creators left out many details of the book. Yet they have done an amazing job of conveying rich textures and flavors in music, scenery, costumes, props. The creative commitment to communicate core qualities of Tolkien's story impressed me immensely. I don't think it would have been humanly possible to make a better film of it. Communication between the characters is seemless and completely believable. Ian McKellen as Gandalf and Sean Bean as Boromir get my academy award nominations for the complexity of character they were able to convey.

Summary: Awesome
Review: Great! I'm glad I bought it... but I personally prefer the theatrical release. It was a lot tighter in terms of the structure and if I could only own one version - I'd go for the theatrical release. But I'm sure I'm in the minority. If you can afford both - get both versions.

Summary: A Cinematic Achievement
Review: This movie is destined to be among AFI's top 100 list. It has everything people want to see in a movie. Peter Jackson's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece is well represented here with a cast that makes Middle-Earth so real you honestly feel like you're there. A must have for DVD owners who want extra features, especially the four disc set.

Summary: Love it!
Review: This is one of the most enthralling movies I have ever seen. The landscapes are beautiful, the acting perfection, and the special effects marvelous. I also love the score! The soundtrack is beautiful! Howard Shore did a marvelous job. To anyone who doesn't like this movie: you do not appreciate cinematic filmmaking at its best! I have watched this movie at leat 30 times and I still absolutely love it. You have to watch this movie! Granted, the storyline departs a bit from the book, but in the end it works out just fine. (I mean, in the book, Arwen had only 1 mention. They had to give her a LITTLE bit more depth if she was going to be in love with Aragorn!) I know some of you hate her, but she is really quite tolerable - even likeable. In short, this movie is a masterpiece! Buy it. Watch it. Love it.

Summary: Long, slow story of the good old days.
Review: A very good movie that develops lots of characters and leads to compelling action, but it is a slow mover at times. I love the film but I can't give it 5 stars as a recommendation because of the pacing. The release version moves a bit faster but they are both still slow (not Dancing with Wolves slow, but slow). If you like the books, you will like the movie. If you like fantasy, you will like the movie. If you don't you won't.

Summary: A Masterpiece
Review: I have just finished watching The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (extended version). What a fabulous gift we have been given by all who collaborated on this epic production! A fan of Tolkein's work from childhood, I have been awaiting the film version with the anticipation my dog has for pancakes, yet have been fearing that the complexity and magic of Tolkein's vision would become lost in the translation from books to screen. No worries! As a film-maker, Peter Jackson's vision and planning are every bit as panoramic and meticulous in their media as were Tolkein's in the written word. The hours of documentary showing "The Making of..." evoke awe rather than demystify the process. The extended version is well worth the extra moola.

Summary: I am a Legolas Fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This movie is the coolest movie in the history of the UNIVERSE! Mostly because Legolas is in it. I am his #1 fan! He is SO cute and the best Archer in the WORLD!!
Anyway, this movie is gross in some parts, really sad, and funny in some parts too. It is a VERY scary movie for you younger kids. Legolas is the best part in the movie.
The nine companions of the Fellowship of the Ring are: Gandalf the wizard, Gimli the dwarf, Samwise, Frodo, Merry and Pippin the hobbits, Aragorn, Boromir and of course LEGOLAS the elf!!
Two of these characters dies in the movie, (thankfully not Legolas!)along with many many many Orcs. but I'm not going to tell you who. You'll just have to see the movie or read the book...If you should see this movie, do me a favor. Don't scream. wait, that's not it. This is it. Count how many times Frodo just stands there holding the Ring in his hand. Well, if you want to watch this, WHO'S STOPPING YOU? I recommend this movie to everyone who can watch PG-13 movies!!!
