Synopsis
New Zealand filmmaker Peter Jackson fulfills his lifelong dream of transforming author J.R.R. Tolkien's best-selling fantasy epic into a three-part motion picture that begins with this holiday 2001 release. Elijah Wood stars as Frodo Baggins, a Hobbit resident of the medieval "Middle-earth" who discovers that a ring bequeathed to him by beloved relative and benefactor Bilbo (Ian Holm) is in fact the "One Ring," a device that will allow its master to manipulate dark powers and enslave the world. Frodo is charged by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) to return the ring to Mount Doom, the evil site where it was forged millennia ago and the only place where it can be destroyed. Accompanying Frodo is a fellowship of eight others: his Hobbit friends Sam (Sean Astin), Merry (Dominic Monaghan), and Pippin (Billy Boyd); plus Gandalf; the human warriors Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and Boromir (Sean Bean); Elf archer Legolas (Orlando Bloom); and Dwarf soldier Gimli (John Rhys-Davies). The band's odyssey to the dreaded land of Mordor, where Mount Doom lies, takes them through the Elfish domain of Rivendell and the forest of Lothlorien, where they receive aid and comfort from the Elf princess Arwen (Liv Tyler), her father, Elrond (Hugo Weaving), and Queen Galadriel (Cate Blanchett). In pursuit of the travelers and their ring are Saruman (Christopher Lee) -- a traitorous wizard and kin, of sorts, to Gandalf -- and the Dark Riders, under the control of the evil, mysterious Sauron (Sala Baker). The Fellowship must also do battle with a troll, flying spies, Orcs, and other deadly obstacles both natural and otherwise as they draw closer to Mordor. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) was filmed in Jackson's native New Zealand, closely followed by its pair of sequels, The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003). ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

No Extended Edition?!?
Best Beginning Movie To A Trilogy Ever!!!
October 10, 2007What can I say or anybody say about one of the three movies that made and are in movie history. Yes, the infamous Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and this 1st part of the trilogy, The Fellowship of the Ring, is probably the second best of the trilogy. Although its second best, that doesn't mean it isn't good. This extended cut of the original film IS the better version, as are all the extended editions. This version is as close to the books you can get. In my opinion, the appendices are a plus and must be watched to fully understand how much effort it took to make these films. Peter Jackson and company have outdone themselves by creating an historic film in the history of film.

The Extended Version Is Better
April 27, 2008This dvd set of the first installment of J.R.R. Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy is quite good, though I cannot recommend it since the dvd set containing the 'extended versions' is so much better. If you're going to invest in these movies, you may as well go all-out and buy the films in their most complete format.

This was to be the new Star Wars, yeah right
October 1, 2007The movie sucks for me because it was building up to be really good and just ended. I know its part of a trilogy but it ends with no real ending. The next Star Wars saga is too much for this series. It's not good at all
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not the best LOTR film, but had to have it
August 15, 2017I purchased this BluRay version of Lord of the Rings because it was on sale and I wanted a better quality version than my old DVD. It was on Deal of the Day and I'm so glad I bought it! This one is probably my least favorite in the trilogy, but it's still a keeper.

This would be worth picking up if it was the Extended Edition and some extras. Save your money and wait for the extended editions.
