A Timeless classic

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2001)

This movie is the epic to surpass all epics. After seeing both Harry Potter and Star Wars Episode I on the first day of their release, I was expected a moderately entertaining movie with obvious modern quirks and a 2001 feel; I couldn't be more wrong. This is one of the only fantasy movies I've seen where you actually feel as if it was made ages ago. The settings of Middle Earth are far more vast and rich than anything I have seen from George Lucas or JK Rowling in the case of Harry Potter. The Fellowship of the Ring is truly an unforgettable epic that lives up to Tolkien's novel in almost every way. When Star Wars and Harry Potter are long forgotten, Peter Jackson's take on perhaps the greatest fantasy tale in history will stay with us forever.
