The Lord of the Rings surely has to go down as one of the best movie trilogies of all time. I've seen all three numerous times and they never fail to impress me.
The first film in the trilogy is The Fellowship of the Ring. This is such a wonderfully made film. The story is superb, the acting is brilliant, the scenery is spectacular... I personally find it hard to find anything major to complain about with this film.
I adore the first half an hour or so of the film. It's so lovely to watch the hobbits just being hobbits.. eating, drinking, having a good time. I love the scenes at Bilbo's birthday party.
The four hobbits in the film (Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan) have excellent chemistry together and the scenes that they share together are a joy to watch.
There are plenty of really funny parts in the film.. mostly thanks to hobbits Merry and Pippin and a few from Gimli the dwarf ("Not the beard!!"). Plenty of touching moments too.. one in particular which always gets to me is Boromir's death scene at the end of the movie. Very moving indeed, with excellent acting from Viggo Mortensen and Sean Bean.
This is definitely a film that everyone has to have seen at least once. Truly magnificent.
10/10
