By necessity, Peter Jackson's ambitious epic compresses J.R.R. Tolkien's classic The Lord of the Rings, but this robust adaptation maintains reverent allegiance to Tolkien's creation, instantly qualifying as one of the greatest fantasy films ever made. At 178 minutes, it's long enough to establish the myriad inhabitants of Middle-earth, the legendary Rings of Power, and the fellowship of hobbits, elves, dwarves, and humans--led by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and the brave hobbit Frodo (Elijah Wood)--who must battle terrifying forces of evil on their perilous journey to destroy the One Ring in the land of Mordor. Superbly paced, the film is both epic and intimate, offering astonishing special effects and production design while emphasizing the emotional intensity of Frodo's adventure. Ending on a perfect note of heroic loyalty and rich anticipation, this wondrous fantasy continues in The Two Towers (2002). --Jeff Shannon The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (Widescreen Edition) Customer Reviews   1     2     3   ♥♥♥♥♥ Tolkien Lives! It goes without saying that some alterations between book and movie had to be made for dramatic purposes, but the overall effect is so good, so beautifully realized, that it is easy to forgive the encapsulation of the early parts of the novel as some things work better in books than in movies, and vice versa. The characters of the fellowship are magnificently realized, and i was surprised and pleased to see the Christian messages of the story brilliantly realized without being obtrusive. The character of Aragorn the King is as allegorical a figure as one could ask for, and in this film, he even looks like Jesus. And I loved, loved, loved the imagery of Boromir as a man who finds salvation at the brink of disaster. The portrayals of Gandalf and the five principle hobbits are inspired casting, and Legolas & Gimli are just so right! I was less pleased with the Elves since Elrond seemed sterner than he might have, and Galadriel was too dark and creepy for the gracious Elven Queen Tolkien created. Above all, the chilling central character in the story is the Ring itself, with a personality and a voice, something never fully realized in the books, but magnificently depicted in the film. And Middle Earth itself is a central character, with its forboding mountains, rolling hills full of Hobbit Holes, and other perfectly depicted locations. Once you've watched the extended version, you will never watch the theatrical release again. This extended version is much more Tolkienseque, more complete, and more fun.   1     2     3   Non User
