I am posting this comment again as it did not appear when originally written over 15 months ago. fellowship is cinema at its absolute best. this is what the medium is about. the film is a masterpiece and a great work of art and entertainment. both the original cinema release and the extended version on dvd, never fail to weave the most magical spell no matter how many times i watch the film. from casting, music, action and effects, there is not a foot put wrong. jackson was the best choice of person to make these films and he has shown, what a few of us have know for the last 12 years, what a great talent and human being he is. i urge everyone to get and watch the extras on the dvds different stuff on both version, listening and watching how this extraordinary trilogy was brought to the screen, is a lesson in how to make films. the obvious love and dedication gone into this is so great that it makes the endeavour as appealing as the end result
