Lord of the rings (as in the trilogy) are my favourite set of movies or movie of all time. The cast couldn't have been better, the story line was epic and the way they made it from JRR Tolkien's book into a film was superb. It's such an advanced world that seems real. It is so advanced it doesn't feel like a fantasy film. You really need to watch the whole trilogy because it's the BEST MOST AWESOME EPIC WONDERFUL AMAZING TRILOGY OR MOVIES EVER!!!! Ian Mckellen, Elijah Wood and Sean Astin were brilliant! The whole plot of this film seems real. It is so well planned and I thought Peter Jackson is the best director for these movies!
The Lord of the Rings trilogy are the greatest films of this generation. All three films deliver on nearly every level. The Fellowship of the Ring was almost perfect and still holds up even after nearly 20 years. The action is fantastic and never goes to over the top. The performances are impeccable especially McKellen, Lee and Wood. The amazing visuals are a great combination of practical effects and cgi effects. The locations are breathtaking and are amazing behold.Peter Jackson's direction is superb as usual. You could argue that this is actually the best of the three movies. While I personally think Return of the King is the best of the three, the first part is a close second. The one complaint that I have is that Merry and Pippin could get on my nerves. But they get better as the series goes on. These are movies that are not to be missed. Even if you have never read one of Tolkien's books they need to be seen to be believed.
"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" has always been a favorite of mine. The storytelling is powerful and compelling, and the world is rich and beautiful. Few films have been able to accomplish what this film has. It is a masterful work that cannot be missed by any fan of cinema.-Analysis of Notable Work- *Writing/Story: The pace of the film is consistent and effective throughout. The characters have powerful personalities that are easy to identify with or admire. It is a grounded story that has heart. There is also very moving dialogue that make some scenes unforgettable. *Directing: Peter Jackson proves his ability to be at the helm of a massive project. He pays attention to detail and commands the attention of viewers with his compelling storytelling ability. *Cinematography: Andrew Lesnie paints the world of Middle-earth beautifully, yet honestly. The film has a grittiness to it, but a sense of hope as well. Lesnie captures the performances of the actors with absolute mastery. His vision brings Middle-earth to life with a realism few fantasy films achieve. *Music/Sound Design: The music is incredible in this film. It feels authentic to the world while still heightening emotions. It is an important part of the story. The sound design is amazing as well. There are so many unique sounds that are completely original to this world, and they make it feel more authentic. *Acting: The acting does not have a weak spot. Every actor holds their own, and some even steal the show. Viggo Mortensen, Ian McKellen, and Christopher Lee all have remarkably powerful performances. It is easy to get lost in any scene due to so many strong performances. *Production Design/Special Effects: The set design and costume, as well as make-up and props are all incredibly realistic and have amazing detail. It is truly incredible to see the lengths the crew went to in order to achieve a high level of realism. The VFX and practical effects are way ahead of their time. They have also held up as time goes by. While it is not perfect, they have aged very well and are by no means weak. *Conclusion: This film was a true pioneer in multiple aspects and deserves to be called one of the best of all time.
