| Description With THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, director Peter Jackson has achieved a meticulous and captivating adaptation of the first book of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic fantasy trilogy. The setting is Middle-earth, a mythological land populated by elves, dwarves, humans, and the gentle, diminutive hobbits upon whom the story centers. One hobbit, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), unexpectedly comes into possession of an ancient magical ring so powerful it invariably corrupts anyone who wears it. In order to prevent the ring's erstwhile owner, the dark lord Sauron, from reclaiming the ring and taking over Middle-earth, a motley band of comrades set out to destroy it in the fires of Mount Doom, where it was forged. Included in the group are Frodo and hobbits Sam (Sean Astin), Merry (Dominic Monoghan), and Pippin (Billy Boyd); the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen); human warriors Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and Boromir (Sean Bean); the dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies); the elf Legolas (Orlando Bloom). Along the way, they wage battle with monsters, demons, and Sauron's evil minions, all brought to life by spectacular digital technology.<BR>Jackson's grandiose production represents the first of three films that he wrote and directed, derived from Tolkien's beloved novels. Fourteen months in the making, at a cost of $270 million, all three installments were filmed at once in New Zealand where diverse landscapes lend themselves particularly well to the mystical realm of Middle-earth. The story continues with THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS and THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING.

A journey of overwhelming odds, if you like fantasy and escapism movies, this is a must. If you like boring everday life dramas, then you wont like this.

Report this review Excellent DVD BoxsetThe Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition is the first part of an extraordinary set of DVD’s, that will be followed by similar versions for the Two Towers and the Return of the King. It is an extremely well put together package. The longer cut of the film is the main reason for buying this set and when coupled with an amazing set of extras, that are more in-depth, stylish and entertaining than most of the DVD’s on the market today, it is a DVD that fans will definitely want to own.

I will not waste yours and my time by explaining the storyline and how awe-inspiring the cinematography and visual effects ! Basically it is a modern day classic which gets better on every watch. Great performances,Superbly directed and a must for any film fan. It is also worth mentioning that the other two LOTR films are just as stunning and I reccomend the trilogy as a whole.
