Good, but not the best ever.

Rating: 6/10 (17 January 2002)

I'm not exactly sure how this got number 1 on the top 250 on IMDB, I liked it but I wouldn't say it's the best movie ever. It was a good remake of the books, even if they did leave out Tom Bombadil and the whole forest chapter. That always happens when they bring movies to the big screen. But Peter Jackson did a good job of bringing Middlearth to life. The cast was great, especially Ian McKellen as Gandalf the wizard. With outstanding special effects and scenery, Lord of the Rings:The Fellowship of the Ring, is not only nice to look at, but also to get involved in. Although it was 3 hrs. long and a bit slow paced towards some scenes, that's what I'd expect from a remake off a book like TLOTR trilogy. 3 and a half/5 stars
