Such a frustrating disappointment

I'll tell you why so serious

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

'The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring (2001)' is an ambitious technical achievement that, slightly unfortunately, sticks remarkably close to its beloved source book but, because of this, is a rather undisciplined affair from a narrative stand-point. It's an exposition-filled and not all that pacy adventure that spends more time telling you what happened before it began - up to two thousand years before - and setting up what might happen after it reaches what is essentially a non-ending than it does showing you anything particularly in-the-moment, anything that ought to take up its whopping three hour run-time. Still, there's a lot to like and the most memorable moments are the most kinetic ones, when our fellowship is on their journey and besieged by the dark forces of their unseen enemy. These are filmed with an undeniable spirit and rag-tag inventiveness (amplified to fit its budget), both evident by the plethora of brilliant behind-the-scenes footage available on the blu-ray, that penetrate even the most unnecessary - and, by extension, dullest - of segments. It is a bizarre beast for sure, at one time my favourite of the three for its sheer amount of 'story' but now sitting somewhere in the middle because that 'story' is mostly just 'stuff'. Each time I watch it, I have a slightly different reaction. Nevertheless, I'm entertained for most of its massive run-time and the fact it can provoke a reaction each time says something in itself, I think. When it moves, it really moves and the most memorable of scenes have stood the test of time almost like no others. When all the exposition falls away and Gandalf faces off against the Balrog, the Hobbits try to outrun the Nazgul or, most powerfully, Boromir takes a stand to save his two new friends, it's a great time. 8/10

The Lord of the Rings trilogy are the greatest films of this generation. All three films deliver on nearly every level. The Fellowship of the Ring was almost perfect and still holds up even after nearly 20 years. The action is fantastic and never goes to over the top. The performances are impeccable especially McKellen, Lee and Wood. The amazing visuals are a great combination of practical effects and cgi effects. The locations are breathtaking and are amazing behold.Peter Jackson's direction is superb as usual. You could argue that this is actually the best of the three movies. While I personally think Return of the King is the best of the three, the first part is a close second. The one complaint that I have is that Merry and Pippin could get on my nerves. But they get better as the series goes on. These are movies that are not to be missed. Even if you have never read one of Tolkien's books they need to be seen to be believed.

A year before this came out I was reading the Lord of the Rings books one summer. It felt a little vague but I was interested by all the fantasy themes and the origins of most contemporary fantasy sagas, especially those under the Dungeons and Dragons brand. Elves, dwarves, hobbits, trolls, spirits, wizards, warriors, and rogues are all in here. I'd hoped there would be more good fantasy films after the 1980s' Willow and this was what we got. As the first film it really sets up the story for an epic series. Lots of good visuals and breathtaking vistas from New Zealand, whose landscapes are untouched by modern technology. Plus, there's a cast of likable stars. John Rhys-Davies, Ian McKellen, Sean Astin, and Ian Holm all contributed to this major event. The dwarves and the hobbits were just as good as the others and brought some comic relief to the story. If you're in the mood for a trilogy that could rival even Star Wars, this should be it!
