Please, it is not the best film in cinema's history !

Rating: 6/10 (22 December 2001)

The Lord of the rings is number one in the top 250 of imdb. How is it possible ? The Tolkien lobby has voted blindly ? Of course, it is not a bad movie. I would even say it is a very good first part. But I would not be astonished if the second one and the third one are better. This "Fellowship of the ring" is the set up of the serial. We discover the characters, their personalities and doubts. What The Phantom Menace did not do. But there are a few lacks like some SFX which are truly dreadful (the cavetroll looks like Shrek which is not very realistic). The story is well adapted and you never fell that it lasts 2h45. But please, it is not because of Tolkien and a few battles that this movies deserves 9.6/10. What about The Two towers for example ? 11.7/10 ? Please have some consideration for other directors who have made the masterpieces of movies' history (Citizen Kane, 2001, The Barefoot contessa, Apocalypse Now). PLEASE.
