great movie

Rating: Null/10 (29 December 2001)

i thought that the lord of the rings, fellowship of the rings was an excellent movie. the actors were all very suitable for the roles they played and the sceenery was beautiful. some of it was filmed directly accross from where i live in wellington. i did not find it at all boring (as is some peoples veiw). so i hav only a couple of complaints: it is really quite different from the book... especially in that merrydoc and perigrin did not just bump in to them and the relationship of sam and frodo is not at all acurate. sam is really a lot more devoted then he appears in the movie. secondly, i have no idea how liv tyler got her name up third on the screen, i do not think that she is even nessecary to the story (concidering they cut out bombadil and about 30 years of frodo's life). your main review is that she was put in there for the female moviegoers but i dissagree. anyway, great movie. frodo is my favourite character. amelia, nz
