Girl’s thought...
If you loved the book, you’ll love this movie. It’s the second best book and the best movie out of the trilogy. You might be said that Tom Bombadil doesn’t make an appearance, and you might be disappointed that some of the Elven parts are skipped over and left out, but... All in all this movie is a great kick start to a wonderful fantasy series. It was more than amazing when I first saw it, it still entertains me when I watch it now, and I know my kids are going to love it (have to love it) when I show it to them later (when they actually exist).
Girl’s Rating: A cinematic adventure with a great cast, excellent visual stimuli and awesome costumes. Boromir... you dying gets me every time.
Guy’s Review...
So now the time came for us to watch this trilogy again. I got all of them in HD and was hoping for it to be a new experience. I put in the first part in the series and started our adventure again. I always thought that “Fellowship” stared off slow. I guess they needed this time to make us feel for these characters. Well, I have a hard time connecting to Woods in any movie he has been in. This makes it hard for me to like him as Frodo.
Lucky for him he’s backed up by great actors like Sir Ian McKellen, Viggo, John Noble, Sean Bean and many more. I wonder what process they actually went though picking Gandalf (it’s probably on one of the DVD’s). I know they approched Sean Connery for the role but I guess he has enough James Bond money to turn these types of roles down.
Who would have though that the director of “Dead Alive”, “Meet the Feebles” and “Bad Taste” would come up with such a detailed and entertaining vision of Middle Earth.
As for “Fellowship”, it starts of very slow but sets up for the rest of the movies in a very brilliant way. Not many battles here but they will make up for that later. A subject we’ll talk about later.
Guy’s Rating: A decent start and a pretty cool Balrog.
