Rich Story and Fine Acting Bogged Down By Length

It is unsurprising that critics have taken The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring to liking. It's rich story, fantastic set pieces and marvelous special effects make all this clear. And fans of the books are certainly pleased, I would imagine. But frankly, I'm still not quite sure how anyone else managed to enjoy this film. It's excessive length and constant chatter can make The Fellowship a somewhat tedious affair at times.

As complicated as the film may be, The Fellowship is really about a hobbit (think a small person with very large feet) named Frodo Baggins, who receives a ring from one his relatives, that must be destroyed. Easier said than done, though. Many dark powers have sought to take the ring for their own, and will go to great lengths to secure the ring.

"LOTR: The Fellowship of The Ring" by Yojimbo

Peter Jackson's ambitious stab at bringing Tolkien's much loved novel to the screen is a real technical achievement. The sumptuous visuals and epic scale bring the world of Middle Earth to life in a way that could never have been attempted before. Unfortunately it is Jackson's faithful adherence to the source text that proves the film's one major flaw. Because, at the risk of angering fluent Klingon speakers everywhere, Tolkien wasn't very good. The plot of Fellowship Of The Ring is flabby, meandering and is littered with irrelevant and pointless asides. The dialogue is a naive collection of cod Olde Worlde speech full of clod-hopping exposition and plain gibberish because of Tolkien's insistence on giving everyone and everything these absurd and po-faced titles. It is bolstered by the pe...

Fellowship Review

This is a very outstanding work of the cinematic Arts. I really enjoyed watching this movie. At first I was left with a Sense that it would be a major let down considering the fact that Lord of the Rings is one of the greatest novels ever written. J.R.R Tolkien is a genius of the English language and Peter Jackson was the last person I would expect to be able to take one of his works and make into a masterpiece. The Acting was great from all the main leads and even the smaller supporting cast added great performances to the mix. The effects and fight scenes were done beautifully and I give props to the Choreographer of this movie. What can one say? I was blown away. I was never a Fan of the fantasy genre until I was introduced to Tolkien's world of Middle Earth and its inhabitants.
