The beginning of an epic trilogy

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2011)

"The Fellowship of the Ring" marks the beginning of the film adaptations of the "Lord Of The Rings" saga of books by J.R.R. Tolkien, and it was directed by Peter Jackson.
As charming, poignant, endearing and action packed as expected, TFOTR is an amazing beginning to the franchise with huge production values, excellent visual effects and an impeccable script writing and supervision.
With a stellar cast and an very adequate soundtrack, "The Fellowship of the Ring" tells us the story of a pair of the miniature hobbit creatures Frodo Baggings (Elijah Wood) and Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin) whom get involved in a magical quest to destroy the one ring that belongs to the demon Sauron and which must be destroyed in order to erase the demon from earth and return peace to the land of Middle Earth. The concept may sound simple, but it is the brilliant execution and the amount of detail, originality and great acting that successfully bring together this live-action adaptation, the script will make you inevitably care about all the characters from the fellowship, each and every one of them have a specific role in the story, and you will want to continue watching the rest of the trilogy as soon as this film ends.
In the end, The Fellowship of the Ring contains a perfect script, well executed dialogue, chill-inducing moments, tons of action, it's fair share of funny moments and throat knotting farewells, which all combine to make it an amazing film that will awaken every emotion in your body.
