The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00003CWT6/jasonsego
Ok, warm up those credit cards - it's time to pre-order the Lord of the Rings! I can honestly say that this movie is one of the best I've ever seen. Despite the hype, I was totally blown away. I saw it twice in the theatre, which is something I've only done a handful of times - movie theaters are so expensive now, but The Lord of the Rings was worth it. And of course, buying the DVD from Amazon will help support this site.
"As the triumphant start of a trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring leaves you begging for more. 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)."
