I enjoyed all of these films a great deal. Yes, there were a few Troyesque moments where you felt like the story was being drawn out for no other reason than to show how beautiful everything is, but I feel that those scenes were a, thankfully, pale shadow of the obtuse and overly descriptive language of the novels. A, blessedly, weak homage to Tolkein's tendency to describe every blade of grass.

Instant classic
The movie is the classic story of three hobbits, a dwarf, an elf, two men and a wizard on a quest to save the world from evil. The special effects alone make it worth watching. The story moves along at a quick pace unlike the book that has a tendency to drag along with side stories left out of the movie and a few long poems. When the party finally goes underground the pace picks up a little too much. In the book the orcs are hidden in the darkness just out of reach, a constant danger that never quite catches up with them. In the movie the walls are crawling with orcs. Fortunately the elf has a magic quiver that never runs out of arrows. If this were a game of D&D and I were the dungeon master, I'd be asking to see the character sheet for this elf. -

KUDOS TO PETER JACKSON!!
I loved all the lord of the rings trilogy.........
n i'd have to admit the way the movie went on...exactly like it was written frm the book (i've read it) so imagine seeing an epic event dat u've already read and imagined wat i'll be like well it was cool better den xpected!!
Thnk god in the last part (return of the king) Dark lord Sauron finally got wat he deserved!!
It was really hard for frodo to let go of the ring in the end but finally he let it 'free-fall' to the volcanic lava!
many of few who have'nt seen the last part may thinki'm 'weird' this is exactly wat happened! -

Can't think of any other Fiction made Alive Better than this.
Excellent Movie in Technical aspects also. -

Fellowship of The Ring is a classic. It's really interesting to see "innocent" characters like Frodo and Sam evolved to be the brave ones

My least favorite Rings film but its still class.The work that went into the film really paid off.Great cast

Sets the scene for the complex take to follow.
Stuck close enough to the book and the spirit of the book to entertain and to build the foundation for a most complex and difficult tale in the next two movies that complete the story. -

So far, the only American masterpiece this decade. Great characters and great acting from all but one (Bloom).

"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future."
This exceeded my expectations I didn't think it would live up to the book but it really did it justice. I think you have to appreciate this movie even if it's not your taste, anyone who has rated this Not Interested should really give it a chance, yup yup yup

The one that kicked it all off. A magical, beautiful beginning to a great film and mythical odyssey.

I'm not tempted even toward the word "perfect" frequently. Um... really... really... not... bad... SQUEEE... They didn't screw up the Lord of the Rings.
-
MCT:September 19, 2008This was the best of them. Very long movie looks fantastic and has some good performances. But unfortunately I just couldn't get into this series.

Exeptional. Rarely have a movie looked this beautiful before and the cast is picture perfect (with the one exception of Liv Taylor who looks like a dressed up human rather than a real mystical being.) Viggo Mortensen was a true last minute luck streak and pretty much all of them seem born to play those characters. A triumph in modern filmmaking.

Ah, where do I begin with the Fellowship...let me just start by saying that it is a classic and my favourite of the three films.
-
MCT:September 16, 2008
Just an incredible movie. Beautiful landscapes and slow paced buildup for what is to come as the story unfolds. The wonderful setting and the humoristic way we get to learn the hobbits draws you into Tolkiens wonderful world.

I read these bks in the 80's. After these movies came out, my son Mark wanted to read them & we got them back from my older son so he could enjoy them along w/ the Harry Potter bks he got for Christmas.

Possibly my favourite LOTR... I can never decide between this one and the Two Towers. I love these films - I could say so much about them but there isn't room.

Amazing! Peter Jackson did a tremendous job at adapting the greatest book series of all time into the greatest film series of all time. Blows Harry Potter out of the water in so many ways. I hope he will direct the Hobbit, couldn't imagine anyone else.

This movie had great graphics,special effects, and the storyline was well planned out.
The scenes created in this movie were dynamic. From the simple village to the elaborate Elfin village. It is a movie that needs to be seen on the big screen to be able to see all the details, although i think you'd have to see the movie several times to catch most of the details.
The special effects are not over done. If fact some of them are almost realistic. I love how they make the fantasy creatures move and interact with the real actors.
The Lord of the Rings books are classic and timeless. They were popular and widely read in the late 60's and continue to be widely read today. The movie still has the essence of the book, even though several items had to be omitted. What a great way to escape into another place and time, even another world!posted 404 days ago -
Those of us who have read the Lord Of The Rings can see what was edited to provide room for for the meat of the story. I too love Tom Bombadil dearly. However, he would have been trite by comparison to the meat of the story and that would not have served his character well.
The reason that Tom and his Goldberry were in the book was the same reason for starting the book in the shire. Simply put, you have to know what it is you are fighting to save or what is the point in the battle?
With all that said, I am so pleased to have been able to see a movie I had always dreamed would be made. Perhaps it will inspire other directors and producers to move ahead with other projects, such as The Dragonriders Of Pern.
Ten stars would not be enough to rate LOTR.posted 406 days ago -
Fantastic! These are my favourite movies - there is no competition. I would give anything to watch all three in the cinemas again.
