Amazon.com: As the triumphant start of a trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring leaves you begging for more. By necessity, Peter Jackson's ambitious epic compresses J.R.R. Tolkien's classic The Lord of the Rings, but this robust adaptation maintains reverent allegiance to Tolkien's creation, instantly qualifying as one of the greatest fantasy films ever made. At 178 minutes, it's long enough to establish the myriad inhabitants of Middle-earth, the legendary Rings of Power, and the fellowship of hobbits, elves, dwarves, and humans--led by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and the brave hobbit Frodo (Elijah Wood)--who must battle terrifying forces of evil on their perilous journey to destroy the One Ring in the land of Mordor. Superbly paced, the film is both epic and intimate, offering astonishing special effects and production design while emphasizing the emotional intensity of Frodo's adventure. Ending on a perfect note of heroic loyalty and rich anticipation, this wondrous fantasy continues in The Two Towers (2002). --Jeff Shannon
Lord of the Rings-Fellowship This is a movie I truly enjoy,because I never get tired of watching it! What I like most about it is the concept of a small band of men willing to challenge the evil that presents them! And the characters seem like they could be your noblemen,along side of you in the mist of battle! Truly Epic!!!
It's Tolkien, but ... This movie is good in the way Peter I guess didn't have all the time for the movie. I love this movie, I love the book and the series even more. Peter Jackson did an excelent job of creating this series and this opening movie. I did miss a lot of the details in which the director, Peter Jackson, I guess just couldn't find time to put into the movie. I see that the main idea of the plot is followed correctly and some stunning visual effects are used, including pieces in the movie that you don't find out in the book without extensive reading and study... That said I miss the first time the character Sam meets elves (on their way from Hobbiton to Buckland) and I also would have loved to see the feature in the book of Tom Bombadil and the Old Forest with moving trees and the great giant old tree which tries to crush Merry and Pippin in that area. The Barrow Downs and the Barrow Wights animation was sorely missed also... but the general overall theme of the movie hed together very well, and it lead perfectly into the rest of the trilogy in which if Peter would have included all the details of the book, would have put all of the audience asleep.
Still the book is better, but takes patience, and the movie is fun in seeing the visuals of the characters.
Great condition & timely arrival. Product did not arrive as originally advertized, but upon notification, seller sent the rest of the product. Everything came quickly and in a very good condition. Would purchase from seller again.
Magnificent! I saw the film several years ago when it came out in theaters, and was blown away by what Mr. Jackson had wrought. Now that I have viewed the extended edition of the film, I am even more impressed and pleased. Mr. Jackson obviously loves Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, and he has provided a beautiful cinematic experience for the enjoyment of Rings fans. I recently finished re-reading The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and broke this out to extend the experience. This also gave me a chance to compare the film to the books. Although some things puzzled me (like Aragorn's brief disappearance, or the decision to make the elves join the fight at Helms Deep), and some things I missed (like the barrow-wrights), I don't have the slightest quibble with Mr. Jackson's work. I expect I will view this film again and again.
A PRECIOUS EDITION After countless years of animated adaptions and audio books,one of the greatet works of literature came barreling into movie theatres around the world with blades in both hands.The Lord of the Rings was a motion picture trilogy based on the classic Novels of the same name written by J.R.Tolkien.The movie stays true to it's literary counterpart,with very few liberties being taken by the director in terms of character development and plot.The action is extremely plentiful and very well choreographed.The audio is top-notch and the cinematography and numerous CGI effects are nothing short of breathtaking.The movie was cast quite well,with almost no moments of overacting or upstaging by any of the cast members.This Extended Version of the film provides nearly 45 minutes of extra footage not seen in the theatrical release.However,what makes this extended version different from other extended fims is that there are no new scenes that hinder the flow of the movie.Every new scene only enhances the overall storyline.Though this film is still astounding in any version,to see this Extended Edition is like watching another movie entirely.
