the start to the epic trilogy for all life

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2004)

This was a great introductory film for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy that introduces the main characters in the Fellowship and their origins. This is also the film where we see about half of Middle Earth to the point where the group parts ways at the crossroads to Rohan and Gondor. A bit slow at times, but the acting and scenery are magnificant and the films mix with horror, action, romance, drama, fantasy, eye candy, war, and mystery. This may be the least of the 3 films and its still a good ten out of ten.
