This amazing production is filled with awesome special effects, terrifying beasts from another time, interesting characters, and a pretty basic, easy story about the ring to follow.

This movie certainly delivers you with wizards, elves, black-hooded riders, dwarves, and everything else you ever wanted from an adult fantasy movie.

Every detail of this film seemed real and well done.

As our winter of wizards continues, hobbits, dwarves, elves, and other mythological creatures begin the quest to destroy the ring of power, that Bilbo (another hobbit) picked up on an earlier adventure.

Pursued by orcs, ringwraiths, and all the powers of darkness, they must overcome obstacles both natural and unnatural. Can Gandalf the wizard get there in time?

Beautifully filmed, wonderfully acted, and a spectacular sight to behold.

The Lord of the Rings is a larger-than-life fantasy tale. It's a real masterpiece that consists of three books that have sold more than 100 million copies and were published back in 1954.

The first episode is well balanced and exceeds and excels on all levels. The movie leaps to a marvelous life, giving vital force on screen.

This is entertainment on a grand scale. There are more than 26,000 extras in the cast, more than 48,000 items made for the three films at a cost of about $300 million.

In this first installment, I liked the Fellowship of the Ring, with its magic and nerve-racking escapes and the gallant courage in the face of terrifying evil.
