Lord of the rings: the fellowship of the ring review

Rating: 10/10 (7 September 2004)

The first installment of this series is a marvel both technical and character. Based on the books by J.R.R. Tolkien, "Lord of the Rings" is a story about a fellowship of comrades and a hobbit named Frodo Baggins who is going to try change Middle Earth for the better and go on a journey to destroy a magical ring in the fiery caverns of Mount Doom. Hobbits are elflike creatures who love peace, posterity, partying and consveration. The beginning of the movie starts out with a narration by the elf queen, "Galadriel" about the ring and it's power towards the dark lord "Sauron. The prologue is fantastic with great
introduction and presence. Running at 3 hours long, "The Fellowship of the Ring" could be boring, but director Peter Jackson keeps us entertained for 3 hours of adventure, drama, and comedy. "The Fellowship of the Ring" has got it all and is very faithful to the text.
