The best fantasy film ever made, everything about it is done to perfection. I am a big fan of the books and was very suprised to find that I like the movies more. Peter Jackson has delivered a world that the fans will truly be able to call Middle Earth. I was a little dissapointed by the casting choice of Frodo I personally think that Elijah Wood wasn't a good choice but that really is my only complaint about not only this installment but of the entire trilogy!!

Loved it! Best fantasy movie ever! The part when Gandolf supposedly dies is my favorite scene. You think he made it, then BAM!!! The monster's tail gets him! Great scene. Great movie.

Peter Jackson's epic cinematic trilogy begins with "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring." Without a doubt, this is the most artistic endeavor for an action/adventure/fantasy film that I have ever seen, and yet, through the artsy stuff, it keeps the integrity of the story alive and kicking. Terrifying. Beautiful. Epic. Heart-breaking. Pulsating. Brilliance.

For fans of these stories, the extended editions are the versions to see. In the Fellowship EE there's more dialogue and explanation, which fleshes out Middle Earth and provides fascinating history (listen to Gandalf's explanation of "Mithril"). And even an additional conversation here or there adds up to a truly great experience. I loved all of the extras at Lothlorien, one of the crucial parts of the book and something that they had to unfortunately cut for the movie theater. If you are looking for more action or special effects, you may be disappointed. But if you loved Tolkien for his characters and language as much as his battle scenes you will be overjoyed

It is what it is, a long, three hours, and that's just the first of three movies. It can not be seen on its own, the others must follow soon after.

This movie is about the "story". Don't like to think about the story while watching, then you may not like this movie. For me, this movie was great.

Awful, I saw this to make sure I could form an opinion on it and I was right. I hated it. EW!

Fellowship of the Ring sets the stage for the story of the Ring. Introducing Characters and Plot lines, this story is very complex. WIth 4 Oscar wins, 83 nominations, and 77 wins, this movie is clearly a must see.
