Not the best movie of all time

Rating: 5/10 (11 December 2015)

Despite the compelling performance by the cast and the great film crew, the portrayal of the Fellowship of the Rings, in my opinion, was not too great. The story is a classic, which may be why this, the first of the trilogy, was so much more successful than most other films in its position. Even as this being so, I did not find the movie all that great. I found it to be a little too different from the book then I would have hoped it would have been. It excluded some important scenes and also included unnecessary romances and scenes. Although this is so, the special effects of the movie were well done in my opinion, the scenes were well depicted and some of the time very accurate. Despite the high stakes of being killed at any moments by anything evil the script keeps the humor and excitement alive in every scene. The background music and sound effects really brought the movie to life and made sure there wasn't a boring moment in the movie. All of the acting was spectacular and the actors really were able to become the character. I would recommend the movie to anyone who likes fantasy action or The Lord of the Rings books. It is very serious, so don't watch it with a big group unless that group is interested in the movie instead of socializing. The movie is extremely long, so if you refuse to dedicate three hours in any variations of division to one movie, watch the cartoon version. Overall Rating: 5/10.
