An excellent adaption of Tolkien's novel.

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 2002)

****

What works about Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, is that the entire movie is depicted so much greater than of Tolkien's novel. The setting was beautiful and unbelievable. The fight sequences, and primarily the CGI, are far better than I had expected. The movie follows Elijah Wood and his friends who are followed by a great force that wants what he has. He possesses an all-powerful ring that was given to him and is needed by the forces. He must destroy the ring before the force destroys him and his friends. the movie is very well brought and very surprising as of the acting skills. the cast was perfect for their performances. I was especially surprised by the performance of Viggo Mortenson. I have seen him in many roles but this one is his best. The fight sequences are quite intense and powerful. It had me awake by the somewhat slow times in the movie. Overall the movie is highly recommended to everyone, and especially of those who have read Tolkien's trilogy.
