Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2015)

Overall The Fellowship of the Ring is a movie worth seeing that has excellent visuals, action scenes, and characters. The plot progresses well but is very slow and puts lots of details into a single scene. The characters are very expressive and passionate always putting their all into a battle and into the journey. The dramatic music adds extra suspense and a sense of gravity to the scene it is played in, for example in the Mines of Moria. The lighting and camera angles make certain scenes such as the orc fight much more serious and intense. However, unnecessary additions to the movie like the love story between Aragorn and Arwen have no relevance to the plot and the movie could have progressed well without it. But the Fellowship of the Ring was altogether a good adaptation of the book and I recommend to anyone who likes action & adventure or fantasy types of movies.
