The story covers all kinds of terrain, too, from the lush Shire of the Hobbits, to the harsh neighboring landscapes. The fact is they are awesome to view, both in beauty and in staggering action scenes that feature incredible-looking monsters and other mythical characters. Some are beyond description, and I don't care if they are computer- generated. I can't recall any film that has so many jaw-dropping scenes, one after the other, for three straight hours. Anyway, 'Fellowship,' stunned me for the visuals alone. If you watch all three of these films consecutively the action wears you down by midway through the final episode and it almost becomes just too much That never gets a chance to happen with the 'Fellowship' film.

The second and third movies were almost entirely Frodo and his allies' long journey, but the first half of this movie also gives a good bit of interesting introductory material including a number of scenes at the Shire, before the long adventure starts. The following two films were very good, to be sure, but this first had a better mixture of the story. It is a truly spectacular adventure story all the way through, probably the best ever put to film.and the first three hours of it is extra special. Now, several years later after having watched all three of these 'Rings' films twice each, I still think this first movie of the trilogy is the best. Here is one film that lived up to its hype, and by the time I saw it after it had arrived at the video stores, I had heard and read a ton of things about it, and seen all the awards it had received, and expected a lot. But they were, all of them, deceived, for.». And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who, above all else, desire power. Seven to the Dwarf lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. It began with the forging of the Great Rings. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. Their quest to destroy the One Ring is the only hope for the end of the Dark Lords reign. Through mountains, snow, darkness, forests, rivers and plains, facing evil and danger at every corner the Fellowship of the Ring must go. He is joined by Gandalf, Legolas the elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Aragorn, Boromir, and his three Hobbit friends Merry, Pippin, and Samwise. 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.

And like Harry Potter, there were benefits to producing a series of films at the same time (continuity, commitment to getting all of the details right), but some drawbacks, too. All three movies in the series were shot at once, so his singular vision can carry us through to the end.Ī couple of caveats - like Harry Potter, Frodo is a character who is more interesting on the page, where we can share his thoughts, than in a movie, where he is primarily called upon to look amazed, scared, or sad. The bad guys, all thundering hooves and billowing capes, seem to have come from the core of every nightmare since the world began. Every detail, from the tiniest plant to the hugest battle, is exactly, satisfyingly right.
Peter Jackson, who directed and co-wrote the script, has created a movie that seems astonishingly inventive and new and at the same time somehow seems as though it always existed inside us.
And it's a story that invites us into a fully realized world with many different civilizations, all so thoroughly imagined that we don't only believe that they each have complete languages, but that they have dictionaries, histories, mythologies, schools, music, and poetry. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is a once-in-a-generation, not since Star Wars, transcendent reminder of why we tell stories, why we have imagination, and why we must go on quests to test our spirits and heal the world. Somewhere, there are future Hollywood directors who will tell magazine feature writers that they first decided to make movies as they watched this film it's that good.
