Film 40 "Lord of the Rings. The Fellowship of the Ring" IMDB No.19

Nobody tosses a dwarf.


2001 Peter Jackson
A fantasy tale of Hobbits and Dwarfs and Elves and Man and Wizards and Dark Lords to name but a few. There is a lot going on here a lot to take in. The version I watched was about 3 hours long and tells a lot of the history behind the story and sets up a lot of what is to come in the next installments and it carries you along at a good pace. i didn't think I would like this, it's from a kids book after all, but I did enjoy it a lot. The scenery and sets are amazing, fighting action scenes are good, the surround sound was really rumbling.
The story goes a bit like this.
An ancient ring has powers that makes it want to return to its owner, this is given to a little hobbit, when the goodies find out he has it they join forces to beat the baddies. The ring has to be destroyed by casting into a mountain deep in enemy territory, the hobbit says he will destroy it. A group of the goodies say they will help him.
I want to watch the next one
8.5/10
