The Lord of the RIngs: The Fellowship of the Ring

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2015)

The Fellowship of the Ring is a movie set in Middle-Earth, a land of many races of creatures. The genre of the movie is fantasy, and there is definite proof of that. The Fellowship of the Ring movie has its flaws, but these flaws are countered with many good moments and a driving plot. The movie's dialogue was witty and interesting, and kept my attention throughout. The music choice was very good, and contributed to the dramatic elements of many of the scenes, but the music for the more calm scenes was not nearly as well composed. The actors chosen to play the roles of many of the characters played their roles very, very well, but the way the director chose to portray Boromir was not a good one. Boromir was portrayed as a semi-evil human who was easily corruptible by the Ring and made up lies to cover his temptation. The choice, I feel, detracted from the movie, and in the extended version, made me happy to see him die. Overall, this movie was one of the better ones I have watched to date, and brought about much enjoyment. I would definitely watch this movie again, and I recommend it to anyone who likes the fantasy genre.
