Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2009)

"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is a J.R.R. Tolkein novel-turned-movie directed by Peter Jackson about a hobbit who's given by his uncle a ring. This ring he learns is actually the One Ring, which was "forged by the Dark Lord Sauron, in the fires of Mount Doom." Upon learning this, he decides to protect the Ring, and to do so, he must leave his home and journey away to at first the village Bree. The reason he must leave is because there are Dark Riders out on the hunt: Ringwraiths. What happens next, well, I can't tell you there.
This is overall a fabulous movie. The visuals were incredibly stunning, and the writing and characters were absolutely perfect, and that's the one part of film-making that absolutely has to has to HAS to be on target. What was even more surprising is that Peter Jackson, who was probably best known for movies like "Bad Taste," "Meet The Feebles," "Braindead," "Heavenly Creatures," and "The Frighteners," directed this. He did an amazing job bringing forth Tolkein's world to a film audience. He also was able to bring emotion to the story, which was what it needed.
Now, bear in mind, if you've read the book, you will notice some things that were taken out of the film, but that's because the book needs to be told as a film. However, I do recommend it to anybody who's in for a great adventure.
