Embodies all the right themes

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2001)

I just saw this movie today and let me tell you, compared to the books this movie is 100% better. Tolkien, and many people agree with me here, is quite boring. And the fact that someone could present Fellowship Of the Rings so excitingly and fresh, amazes me. Who could be a better Frodo than Elijah Wood? This guy is a great actor with the depth needed to portray this meek hero. But let us nt forget what really sets this apart from just any old special effects flick. Number one it has all the right themes for a story of this magnitude. Those are good and evil, undyielding friendship and devotion, that the little guy is capable of daring feats and where there's a will there's a way. I genuinely love this film, especially how it leaves you begging for more, right at a climax. Between Harry Potter, Star Wars and this...it seems I won't be leaving the movie theater for quite some time!
