This is an amazing film with action, adventure, friendship and courage

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2015)

Graphics- 4/5 stars. The movie was released in 2001. I saw it in the theatre and I own the VHS tape. The quality of the graphics are evenly as crisp. There were not cheesy moments when graphics were concerned. The only reason why I gave it a 4 and not a 5 is because the movie is 14 years old. Examples could be the look of the wounds Frodo received. The blood that squirts out of the chopped off heads. The magic used by the wizards and the elves also looked very realistic. Not cheesy at all. Plot- 5/5 stars. The plot is very deep, emotional, captivating and thick. It leaves you longing for more and your yearnings for more are answered with the 2nd and 3rd film. It will have you on the edge of your seat one minute and laughing the next. The movie is filled with many lovable characters who go through their own personal journey as the movie goes on. The movie is always taking another twist and turn. Length- 4/5 stars. I gave it 4 stars due to its 178 minute length. This movie is very long and at times a little slow. This does not mean it is not worth watching. There is action throughout the entire film and it is very easy to connect to the characters. Also a lot of information is in each film, the length is pretty necessary. Some parts could have been shorter but it was worth it all the same.
The Review In 2001 my Dad and my best friends Dad took me and him to the movies one night. They decided to take us to see The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. What I did not know was that the movie was pg-13. I was 5 years old at the time and my best friend was 6. This did not hinder us at all. I wasn't afraid the entire time. Many weapons and battles took place. People and monsters alike were being killed and I just enjoyed my popcorn. The movie is not very scary at all in my opinion.
The movie was and is amazing, easy to follow and very enjoyable. The graphics are amazing as well. It does not look fake or cheesy at all. All the creatures look very realistic. There are many characters but it is not easy to get confused by names. Also if you decide to watch it now you will most likely have the option to rewind and fast- forward if necessary.
The movie is all about a ring of great power. This ring was also created by an evil entity who wants to control the entire world. The people who are against that do everything they can to either destroy the ring or cause as much turmoil for the evil forces as possible. One of the main characters Frodo starts the movie with receiving the ring from his uncle. After some time people realize how much the ring is worth.
People are sent to get the ring from Frodo and he gets seriously injured in the process. He is saved and the people who heal him try to figure out what to do. It is decided that a group will be sent to destroy the ring. There are a few characters that can be considered main characters and they all have very interesting back stories. All the characters face personal challenges in all of the films. This leaves room for an emotional connection with the characters. It is very easy to find a favorite character and it is very easy to despise but also respect most of the enemies they have. The movie is pretty long but it is worth the wait. Some parts could have been a little shorter but all in all it was not that bad. Also a lot of information needs to be taken in and the length helps with that. I also would feel is it safe to say that the length helps people to not be confused.
