Very few movies based on books live up to the book. Thankfully, this one does.

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2002)

When you think of movies that have been made from books names like Jurassic Park, The Shining, and Clear and Present Danger may come to mind. All of these movies have been good, but the books were amazing and the movies did not live up to the standards set by the authors. The Fellowship of the Ring, on the other hand, does live up to the story. It did leave some character. and scenes out, but they did bring the stunning books visuals to life with a very well made movie. From the legendary actors like Ian McKellen to younger up and comers like Elijah Wood, the acting is stupendous and the set design is eye popping. I can not wait for this movie to come out on DVD and also I am waiting on the final two movies that will hopefully live up to the first.
