Probably the best first entry of a (planned) trilogy there is

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2019)

"The Fellowship of the Ring" is one of the greatest Fantasy movies of all time. I have not read the "Lord of the Rings" books, probably because I'm not a fan of books. However, after seeing movies like "Lord of the Rings" or shows like "Game of Thrones" I could imagine myself actually reading "Lord of the Rings" or "The Song from Ice and Fire."
"The Fellowship of the Ring" is probably the best first entry of a trilogy there is. It introduces all the main characters, but does not lack in the epic scenes whatsoever (e.g. The Mines of Moria).
Everything else is just as great in this movie. The direction is incredible, the visual effects used are state-of-the-art and the landscape shots of New Zealand are just plain awesome.
