You want more after 3 hours

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2002)

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring would make the late author very proud. It is extremely well done with a great cast of actors. There are not enough female roles in this story and it is a great story. Who would have thought that Sean Astin grew up to be a hobbit from his days as a "goonie" and Tobey Maguire who was best known for his role in the Ice Storm as Mike. Now he is the star of the film. He plays beside the wonderful attractive Orlando Bloom, John Rhys-Davies, the magnificent Christopher Lee as the dastardly wizard gone arye, Sir Ian McKellen as the wonderful charming gandalf(Sure he could play Macbeth and Shakespearan role but he certainly can play his friend, Dame Maggie Smith, in a Saturday Night Live appearance. He was just perfect and now he plays with his action figures. Then there is wonderful Sir Ian Holm (Just imagine two Sir Ians on the set, what are the chances). The film is about 3 hours and after all that there is still more and you want more. I only wished that they would finally give knighthood to Christopher Lee and John Rhys-Davies.
