The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2003)

...God yes it's a great film but I've watched it a good few times now and I really can't help but feel it's amazingly over rated. ...I find too many scenes in this film too dreary and to be blunt boring to make this one of the finest films in the history of cinema. ...It's opening scenes are fantastic, the that set the pace for the rest of the trilogy never mind the Fellowships itself! ...I think it laid very good foundations for The Two Towers, which in my opinion was so much better!!! ...I have read the books (before the films were out may I add!), and I prefer the book on this occasion!
8/10
