There seems to be 2 problems that makes this movie away from perfect

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 2002)

(Slight spoilers) Ah, yes. The perfect movie. Is there such a thing?
No!
Even CITIZEN KANE has it's flaws! There's a pterodactyl in KANE, for crying out loud.
The main problem with THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING the beefing up of the role of Arwen, played by Liv Tyler. She is only slightly mentioned in the book, but now she is Xena's more-covered Elven Clone! And she talks as if she has learned to live with something stuck in her throat! One of my friends, who did not read the book, commented that this part of the story could have been better, but since it never existed in the first place, we can see why Fellowship of the Rings couldn't win Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay.
The other flaw is that, after the Council of Elrond, the story's pace becomes faster, but at what cost? In the second half the Hobbits (and Frodo) seem to be deminished from their roles by Aragorn, ogres, orcs, elves, and only seem to be some kind of irritation. Making it longer by twenty minutes could help.
(I'm the only person who wants this longer)
And the balrog, despite being wonderfully done, dissapointed me because he looks like a run-of-the-mill demon.
Other than that, the movie's fine.
