WHAT WE THOUGHT OF IT:


What do you get when you make a movie that is true to a wonderful book, add some great acting, unbelievable scenery and costumes, frighteningly real make up and some of the best special effects technology can achieve ? The answer is MAGIC!
Lord of the Rings has been hyped and merchandized so viciously that we have come to expect a movie that couldn't possibly deliver. Well, it does. So maybe it could have been a bit shorter at times and total suspension of disbelief is required to fully enjoy the movie, but heck, what adventure film doesn't demand the same from its viewers? The music serves as the perfect background for a 3 hour long trip into the realms of the mind of J.R.R Tolkien, where you become part of that impossible world to the point that the trip back to earth is not only frustrating but totally dull. Do we really have to wait for another year before the second part ?

THE STORY:


The future of civilization rests in the fate of the One Ring, which has been lost for centuries. Powerful forces are unrelenting in their search for it. But fate has placed it in the hands of a young Hobbit named Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), who inherits the Ring and steps into legend.
A daunting task lies ahead for Frodo when he becomes the Ringbearer — to destroy the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom where it was forged. But he can’t do it alone. A Fellowship bands together to lend Frodo the wisdom of Gandalf (Ian McKellen); the loyalty of his friends Sam (Sean Astin), Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd); the courage of Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and Boromir (Sean Bean); the precision of Legolas (Orlando Bloom); and the strength of Gimli (John Rhys-Davies). They are aided in their quest by Arwen (Liv Tyler), Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) and Elrond (Hugo Weaving), whose knowledge of the Ring brings to light the true danger and importance of their journey
