The first masterpiece of the new century!

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2001)

Lord of The Rings - Fellowship of The Rings is definitely the prettiest movie I have ever watched. It has definitely the best story (Tolkien is a genius, but hey, we all knew that allready). It has definitely some of the best actors ever worked together. And it is definitely the greatest movie I have ever seen.
This movie follows Frodo and his first step of the great quest to destroy the one ring, created by the evil Sauron.
The effects of this movie was breathtaking, I found myself several times with my jaw down to my chest of the amazing things that was on the big screen in front of me. The incredible beauty of Rivendell, the evil land of Mordor and the quiet and peaceful Shire.
Elijah Wood is amazing as Frodo. There has never been a film in which I felt so much compassion and fear with this little hobbit. Ian McKellen is Gandalf. Period. I can never read the books again without having his face in my mind. Sean Astin, Christopher Lee, Orlando Bloom, Sean Bean and John Rhys-Davies are also just perfect. And of course the mischievous Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd. Just perfect! Heck, even the damn orcs are great!
Finally, let me quote Elijah Wood in an interview I saw not long ago:
"You believe it really exists."
Thank you Peter Jackson, thank you New Line Cinema and thank you J.R.R. Tolkien for giving the world the best stories ever made. 10/10
