I saw it at the THEATER and bought the DVD

Rating: Null/10 (18 August 2002)

I heard mixed things about this movie. I loved it. It was a three hour movie that delivered all the goods. Frodo is the role that was made for Elijah Wood. Mr. Wood was BORN for that role. Gandalf was created for Sir Ian McClellan. It is amazing how well they act. Cate Blanchette is the beautiful elven queen. This movie delivers all the goods on all fronts. Viggo plays Strider. Strider is a well trained swordsman who steals the action. The struggle between good and evil is there. However, as Peter Jackson says, what makes this movie more interesting than a typical good vs. evil movie, is the HOBBITS. Yes, you heard me right, THE HOBBITS. The hobbits are a simple people who are not used to action and adventure. That's about all I can say about this movie. I saw the previews for the TWO TOWERS (Peter refused to change the title after 9-11), and the movie looks like it shall surpass The Fellowship of the ring. Way to go Peter! We needed this!!!
