Product Details

Product Description

Amazon.ca

As the triumphant start of a trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring leaves you begging for more. By necessity, Peter Jackson's ambitious epic compresses J.R.R. Tolkien's classic The Lord of the Rings, but this robust adaptation maintains reverent allegiance to Tolkien's creation, instantly qualifying as one of the greatest fantasy films ever made. At 178 minutes, it's long enough to establish the myriad inhabitants of Middle-earth, the legendary Rings of Power, and the fellowship of hobbits, elves, dwarves, and humans--led by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and the brave hobbit Frodo (Elijah Wood)--who must battle terrifying forces of evil on their perilous journey to destroy the One Ring in the land of Mordor. Superbly paced, the film is both epic and intimate, offering astonishing special effects and production design while emphasizing the emotional intensity of Frodo's adventure. Ending on a perfect note of heroic loyalty and rich anticipation, this wondrous fantasy continues in The Two Towers (2002). --Jeff Shannon

Chronique Amazon.fr

Grandiose. Magnifique. Captivant. Magique. Les mots manquent pour qualifier cette brillante adaptation cinématographique d'un des plus grands romans d'héroïc fantasy. Le Seigneur des Anneaux est un film fleuve racontant l'épopée d'un jeune hobbit détenant un anneau aux pouvoirs très puissants, convoité par Sauron, seigneur des ténèbres qui se verrait bien dominer le monde grâce à celui-ci. Cette lutte entre le bien et le mal est illustrée avec maestria par Peter Jackson, fan du roman de J.R.R. Tolkien depuis toujours. La force des émotions partagées par des personnages attachants, courageux et valeureux, et l'horreur dégagée par les ennemis destructeurs s'allient à des décors et effets spéciaux impressionnants et jamais vus au cinéma. Une telle richesse d'images demande plusieurs visions pour découvrir tous les aspects du monde enchanté de Peter Jackson. Aventure, guerre, suspense, fantastique, amour, humour. Tout est là pour faire du Seigneur des Anneaux un très grand moment de cinéma. --Marc Maesen

5.0 out of 5 stars The quest begins, Feb 22 2007
By E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
In 2001, one of the most anticipated movies ever came into theatres: "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien's classic fantasy novel.

Since it was created by a talented but weird director, and based on a book that had never been successfully adapted even in part, no one was entirely sure whether it would bomb or succeed. Fortunately, "Fellowship" is a smashing cinematic success, with exquisite care given to every aspect of it.

When hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Ian Holm) leaves the Shire, the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) convinces him to leave his treasured magical Ring to his young cousin Frodo (Elijah Wood). Gandalf soon confirms that the Ring is the evil One Ring of the Dark Lord Sauron, and tells the frightened Frodo to leave the Shire as soon as possible -- especially since nine dark riders are searching for someone by the name of Baggins.

Frodo, his faithful gardener Sam (Sean Astin) and his two mischievous cousins (Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd) quickly travel to meet with a strange ranger, and stumble into more dangers as they make for the Elven haven of Rivendell. But Frodo's journey is not over yet -- when he and a band of hobbits, Men, Elves, Dwarves and a wizard all volunteer to take the Ring to the only place where it can be destroyed.

For a long time, a convincing "Lord of the Rings" movie could not be made -- not just because of special effects and money, but because it is so difficult to translate Tolkien's work into something watchable. Goofy scripting, bad special effects, mutilated characters -- there was just so much that could go wrong. Instead, it was a cinematic triumph.

Jackson and Co. outdid themselves with nearly every aspect of the films. They translated Tolkien's erudite prose into solid, poetic dialogue, with lots of humor and horror, romance and taut action. And it all takes place in the New Zealand landscapes, with lots of misty forests, towering mountains and charming rural villages. And Jackson takes full advantage of these, with his trademarked swooping shots, and wild camerawork for fight scenes.

But the setting alone doesn't make a good movie, which is where Jackson's WETA Workshops came in. Sets range from the sturdy English hobbit towns to the airy elven tree-houses; and the special effects are almost shockingly realistic, including a rampaging cave troll, and a glimpse of the gruesome Gollum. He's the first fully convincing CGI character, and you can forget he is made digitally.

Elijah Wood is outstanding as Frodo Baggins. He runs the emotional gamut: fear, pain, horror, happiness, resignation, love and loneliness. Sean Astin is equally good as the steadfast Sam, who is amazed by the world outside the Shire. And some comic relief comes with Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd, as Frodo's loyal, chipper cousins.

But as lovable as the hobbits are, they do not dominate all of the screen: Ian McKellen is perfect as the grandfatherly wizard Gandalf. There are also some meaty roles for mysterious Viggo Mortensen, elfin newcomer Orlando Bloom, ominous movie veteran Christopher Lee, as well as Hugo Weaving, Liv Tyler, John Rhys-Davies, and especially Sean Bean as the tormented Boromir.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is a true modern classic, with exceptional acting and amazing direction from Jackson and his friends. Bravo!

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally satisfied!, Aug 16 2002
By ÿtienne Mallette (Montréal, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
There is nothing to add to all the positive critics you can read below. The movie itself is great, and the extras on the second CDs are a real treat! :)

The only thing bad about all this is how cruelly they taunt us with the extended version to be released in November!
