I think this is the best!

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2006)

After watching all 3 LOTR movies, and then watching the first one again, I'm under the belief that this, the first movie is the best one. I don't know, I feel this one has a bit more character depth, like we know all the backstory in this one, so we feel more for the characters and their relationships. For example, the bonding of Frodo and Sam is so incredibly well developed here. Plus the relationship between Frodo and Gandalf is quite amazing as well. However, when the fellowship get together, we really don't care much about them because THOSE characters aren't as developed as the others (so when one of them is killed, I didn't care as much). Their backstory I suppose is saved for the sequels. All in all, excellent movie. This is the one the Oscar should have gone to.
