The beginning of the trilogy to put new standard for movies.

Rating: 9/10 (18 August 2002)

This movie was originally converted from a book by JRR Tolkien. Peter Jackson followed the story-line of The Lord Of The Rings very well. For those who have not seen the LORD OF THE RINGS THE FELLOW SHIP OF THE RING you should avoid reading the next paragraph incase it spoils the movie if you wish to see it in the future.
****SPOILER FOR THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING****
Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him the rings of power- the means by which he will be able to rule the world. All he lacks in his plan for dominion is the ruling ring, which has fallen into the hands of the Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. In a sleepy villiage in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as the ring is entrusted to his care. He must leave his home and make a perilous journey across the realms of Middle-Earth to the cracks of doom, deep inside the territory of the Dark Lord. There he must destroy the ring forever and foil the Dark Lord in his Evil purpose.
****The End of the spoiler****
I recommend this movie for people who have read JRR Tolkien's books and enjoyed them. If you like fantasy books and movies then this is the movie for you. Full of Dwarves, Elves, Hobbits, Wizards and many other mythical and amazing creatures.
