"The Fellowship of the Ring" is the first of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. And I would recommend that you watch them in order. In this movie we see the origin of the One Ring and how it comes into Frodo's possession. We see the formation and breaking of the fellowship.
This movie will introduce you to Middle Earth. There are breathtaking scenes in the movie when the camera pans around and captures the beautiful settings of Middle Earth. Peter Jackson did a great job in envisioning the realm and choosing the location for it. We first see Hobbiton, where the houses have flower patches and old fences, the roads look worn and made through decades of travel, and the Old Mill spins with the laziness of a quiet town. It made me believe I was there. And his wonderful creations that we get to explore with the fellowship; Rivendale, the Halls of Moria, Lothlorien and the passage down the Anduin. It lets us see the vast living world that is Middle Earth.
Tolkien's work is not faithfully followed. Certain characters are missing. As are some songs that are memorable from the book. But the movie does not let us down. And it is a good screen adaptation. I love that the elvish language that Tolkien created is spoken. And the casting is excellent.
This is much better than the original release. The movie has an extra 30 minutes added, which will help you flow easier to the second film. And the great bonuses included in this package include the making of the film, interviews with all the stars, drawings and interviews with Peter Jackson and the rest of the people responsible for producing this classic. As well as a good look at where the film was shot in New Zealand, behind the scenes stories and incidents that happened during the filming. This is the DVD to buy.

Reviewing this film feels a bit like reviewing The Bible & adding to an endless queue of opinions, but I think the key word's scale. The costumes, make-up, props, sets, locations, special effects & sheer filming ambition were epitomised by Peter Jackson's insistence that each actor learn correct sword fighting techniques & still give me the most jaw-dropping & rewarding fantasy adventure I've watched. Unlike so many detracting extended editions, this one simply makes the experience even better.The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Extended Edition) [DVD] [2002]

A bit of a let-down.
Ok, I seem to be in something of a minority here as I found this film a disappointment after all the hype surrounding it. Read more
