Synopsis

An ancient Ring thought lost for centuries has been found, and through a strange twist in fate has been given to a small Hobbit named Frodo. When Gandalf discovers the Ring is in fact the One Ring of the Dark Lord Sauron, Frodo must make an epic quest to the Cracks of Doom in order to destroy it! However he does not go alone. He is joined by Gandalf, Legolas the elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Aragorn, Boromir and his three Hobbit friends Merry, Pippin and Samwise. Through mountains, snow, darkness, forests, rivers and plains, facing evil and danger at every corner the Fellowship of the Ring must go. Their quest to destroy the One Ring is the only hope for the end of the Dark Lords reign! –IMDb

My estimation of these films drops with each successive viewing. Jackson's direction is compelling when the camera whirls over large spaces, flying over mountains or diving into caverns, but he's lost when it comes to conversation.

After a recent viewing, "Fellowship" remains my favorite film in the trilogy. It's a great introduction to the world of Middle Earth and yet it feels like a complete story from beginning to end rather than a mere installment like the other two. The fellowship is formed and ultimately fails, and we get Boromir's entire character arc in one movie. "Fellowship" has a seductive magic; nothing feels perfunctory.

This movie still looks great 10 years on. Great casting especially Viggo as Aragorn and Mckellon as Gandalf.I do wish as many have said that Tom Bombadil was in the filml, he's the best thing in the novel of Fellowship. Still one of my favourite movies of all time.

Funny, scary and, totally involving, Peter Jackson’s assured adaptation of JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of The Rings turns the book’s least screen-worthy volume into a gripping and powerful adventure movie…  read review

I would never think Tolkien would write such cliche stories, with so much unrealistic stuff, so I really hope it’s only because of the bad adaptation – yeah it’s fantasy, but I hate it when people…  read review
