Full review
The first of three films based on the LOTR novels by J.R.R Tolkien. The story is based after the Hobbit novel and starts to tell the story of the destroying of the one ring.
Story Starts with Bilbo baggins Birthday and his then leaving the shire and all his posseions to Frodo his nephew. it is upon taking the ring to give to frodo Gandalf the grey starts to understand what the ring may acutaully be. The one ring to rule them all and what Sauron is looking for.
The Story tells of Frodo's how frodo gets the ring and the travels he begins to take from leaving the shire to starting his trip to mordor with the other members of the fellowship.
I waited for a long time for this film and it does not disapoint the special effects are not overused the sound is amazing at times and the acting and story and both well up to standard. Being a mssive fan of the books i was concerend how it would transpose over to film but peter jackson ahs done a superb job with in my opinion all the key bits being there but not to much detail to make the film to long. Don't get me wrong thsi film is far from short and will eat into your evening considarbly. An amazing start to what is an amazing set of films.

DVD Description
With THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, director Peter Jackson has achieved a meticulous and captivating adaptation of the first book of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic fantasy trilogy. The setting is Middle-earth, a mythological land populated by elves, dwarves, humans, and the gentle, diminutive hobbits upon whom the story centers. One hobbit, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), unexpectedly comes into possession of an ancient magical ring so powerful it invariably corrupts anyone who wears it. In order to prevent the ring's erstwhile owner, the dark lord Sauron, from reclaiming the ring and taking over Middle-earth, a motley band of comrades set out to destroy it in the fires of Mount Doom, where it was forged. Included in the group are Frodo and hobbits Sam (Sean Astin), Merry (Dominic Monoghan), and Pippin (Billy Boyd); the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen); human warriors Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and Boromir (Sean Bean); the dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies); the elf Legolas (Orlando Bloom). Along the way, they wage battle with monsters, demons, and Sauron's evil minions, all brought to life by spectacular digital technology. Jackson's grandiose production represents the first of three films that he wrote and directed, derived from Tolkien's beloved novels. Fourteen months in the making, at a cost of $270 million, all three installments were filmed at once in New Zealand where diverse landscapes lend themselves particularly well to the mystical realm of Middle-earth. The story continues with THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS and THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING.
Professional reviews
Review: "...Jackson has captured something of the depth, breadth, and melancholy grandeur of Tolkien's vision. And that is magic, indeed..." (Box Office, p.59, 01/02/2002)
"...Well-made and well-cast....Masterfully paced and one of those rewarding movies that seems to get better as it progresses..." (Hollywood Reporter, p.8-82, 04/12/2001)
"...The playful spookiness of Mr. Jackson's direction provides a lively, light touch..." (New York Times, p.E1, 19/12/2001)
"...FELLOWSHIP is the real deal, a movie epic that pops your eyes out, piles on thrills and fun, and yet stays intimately attuned to character..." (Rolling Stone, p.55-6, 17/01/2002)
"...Jackson has translated the best-loved fantasy novel of our age into a commanding screen adventure, one with a sense of human terror and danger and grit under its nails..." (Sight and Sound, p.49-52, 01/02/2002)
"...A faithful and visually spectacular adaptation of the first volume in Tolkien's trilogy....RINGS has moment of edge-of-the-seat excitement..." (USA Today, p.8E, 21/12/2001)
"...[The film] looks to please the book's legions of fans with its imaginatively scrupulous rendering of the tome's characters and worlds on the screen....McKellen delivers Gandalf with great relish and gusto..." (Variety, p.31-6, 10/12/2001)
