One of cinema's greatest triumphs !

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2002)

Peter Jackson leaves nothing to chance in his phenomenal interpretation of J.R.R Tolkien's fantasy classic 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring'.
The film is an all-round feast for the eyes, with Academy Award winning cinematography, magical set design, intricate costume and props, and outstanding performances from some of the world's most talented actors and actresses.
Jackson succeeds in bringing the realm of Middle Earth, dreamed up by J.R.R. Tolkien, to life, in the first leg of a greatly anticipated and already highly acclaimed cinematic adaptation.
Even audiences that typically steer clear of fantasy films will be enthralled and ensnared by Peter Jackson's epic work.
Romance, sword-fighting, perfect scenery, and a gripping plotline (as well as the odd tinge of comedy), ensure that there is something for everybody in what is truly a masterpiece of literature, and now, film. The two wizards J.R.R. Tolkien and Peter Jackson leave audiences eagerly awaiting the next two installments of the trilogy.
