A good extraction

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2003)

I thought LOTRTFTR (Lord of the Ring The Fellowship of the Ring) was an accurate overview of the book itself. Although some details were left out, the movie turned out to be quite a show.
I thought there was a transition throughout the movie. LOTRTFTR started out bright and full of life, this of course being with the shire. As the movie goes on I noticed it turning into a sort of roleplaying game, for we are always following Frodo's story. That's what most of the book is about as well, but it would have been nice to branch off into the other characters' stories as well but the movie would have been too long i suppose. Towards the end of the movie i thought it got quite dark and hopeless and the ending wasnt one that i would have chosen to cut back on in length, even though the book ended in a like wise manner, i would have prefered if the writers added a little bit more to it.
Over all i think this movie is worth its time in watching value, very good visuals and excellent sounds make this movie a standard for fantasy movies to come.
