Description

Extended Edition. In the first part of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, a shy young hobbit named Frodo Baggins inherits a simple gold ring. He knows the ring has power, but not that he alone holds the secret to the survival--or enslavement--of the entire world. Now Frodo, accompanied by a wizard, an elf, a dwarf, two men and three loyal hobbit friends, must become the greatest hero the world has ever known to save the land and the people he loves.

    Peter Jackson's The Fellowship of the Ring movie has successfully opened the door into Tolkien's world of Middle Earth for me. The plot tells of the quest of a hobbit, Frodo Baggins, to destroy an evil ring of power. He is aided in his quest by his friends and other companions who accompany him and protect him on his journey. The costumes, weapons, armor, the One Ring and the props are so rich and very well crafted by the film crew. The scenery and landscapes of New Zealand are very beautiful. The movie sets for the Shire, Rivendell, Lothlorien, Amon Hen, Weathertop, Bree, Isengard and Moria are very gorgeous. The realm of Mordor looks very dark and scary in a good way. The action and battle scenes at Weathertop, Moria and Amon Hen are epic, memorable and perfectly executed. The special effects for the Balrog, the cave troll, the Watcher in the water, Gollum and Sauron's Eye are very incredible. The Prologue scene narrated by Galadriel and with flashbacks of the forging of the Great Rings, the War of the Last Alliance and the One Ring passing to Isildur, SmΓ©agol and Bilbo was a clever way for Peter Jackson to introduce the Lord of the Rings story. The acting is superb The cast crew is so awesome and do an excellent job in playing their roles. Sir Ian McKellen is flawless in his role as Gandalf the Grey. Sir Christopher Lee isirreplaceable in his performance as Saruman the White. Cate Blanchett captures Lady Galadriel perfectly with a wonderfully deep and emotional voice. Elijah Wood is very gifted and bright in his role as Frodo Baggins with the charcter's haunted, frail courage that Tolkien captures. Sean Astin was born for the role as Samwise Gamgee and does an amazing job in capturing Sam Gamgee's personality. Dominic Monaghan Billy Boyd make for a delightful duo as Merry and Pippin Viggo Mortenson was an excellent choice for the role as Aragorn/Strider. Orlando Bloom pulls off Legolas very nicely with the character's bowmanship, various movements and fighting skills. John Rhys-Davies is brilliant and hilarious as Gimli the dwarf. Sean Bean gave an excellent performance as Boromir. Hugo Weaving gives a wonderful performance as Lord Elrond. Liv Tyler is ethereal and breathtaking in her role as Arwen Evenstar. Andy Serkis gives an amazing performance as Gollum. Ian Holm literally is Bilbo Baggins. Craig Parker is very good as Haldir. Howard Shore is a musical genius is composing splendid songs and outstanding music scores that capture the spirit and the essences of Tolkien's world of Middle Earth. "May It Be" by Enya is a hauntingly beautiful song that plays at the credits. Peter Jackson's "The Fellowship of the Ring" is an epic, incredible experience for me. A truly spectacular adventure story all the way through, probably the best ever adapt into a movie. This still is a major milestone in cinema history.
  • I think some extras are still missing.

    Please add in things like the photo galleries, and (unless it's there and I am not finding it), the raw footage videos featuring the council of Elrond. Also, it would be good to see those little introductions to the appendices as well as being able to watch them all at once. Excellent update otherwise.

  • It's not that good

    I read LOTR in the 3rd grade to satisfy my required book report pages for the year; even at 8 i wished I had picked a different book. I saw the standard edition when it was in the theater and almost left 3-4 times throughout it because is was so dull. The fixation on random, unimportant details is what really sinks this series; it's not colourful and descriptive, it's just tedious overtelling of a simple story.
  • Why aren't the extended versions available in 4K

    It's a pity that the extended versions of the trilogy aren't available in 4K while the regular releases are.
