I thought the book was great, but the movie outclasses it by far
Classic movie. This movie is pretty perfectly made. It is one of the few movies with good music, the scenery is wonderful, and the movie follows the book closely. There are a few minor differences which are barely noticeable, and don't make much difference. The Black Riders are awesome, and Peter Jackson does a good job representing the fear they bring with them. Also, the movie has good contrast from dark and gloomy scenes, to bright and happy scenes. This movie had few places it could go wrong since it is based on the magical Lord of the Rings books. However, this movie went above and beyond that and this made it into a wonderful movie, and it is sure to become a classic in the future alongside with the books. I don't think that J.R.R. Tolkien would have been displeased with any part of this movie. Also, this movie is able to do what few others have achieved. When watching this movie, you feel like you are there watching all these things happen of the scene rather than on the television. In other words, this movie transports you straight to Middle-Earth. This movie is a must-see. I recommend watching it and buying the DVD since it is a movie that most people will want to see again and again.

Unforgettable Movie
This is truly one of the best movies ever made. I love the Tolkien books(which the movies are based on)but the movies are also spectacular. This Special Edition is worth the extra money because if you are a true fan of The Lord of the Rings you get your money's worth. The dvd contains commentary from the cast and behind the scenes but the best thing is that these dvd's contain footage that was not seen in the movies! The extra footage in the dvd's is great.

Yes that's right! I'm not giving it 5 stars like the rest of the world!
Well, I kind of feel confused that soooooo many people love this and the two sequels. I have to admit that the cast is good but Elijah Wood's wimpy character Frodo bugs me, and the plot is very solid and is the cinematography. The visuals are gorgeous. Well I'm sure that everyone knows the plot but in case not, it's about a "fellowship" of people that join together to take an evil and very powerful ring back to where it was made to destroy it. (It can only be destroyed in the lava where it was made) Well, anyway, for one, the movie starts off very slowly. It's not for a while that there's some battles. Now, while the battles are neat and cool and all that, I just found the movie very boring. It's always a drag for me to sit through this 3 hour movie. Oh, and yeah right, like I'd ever watch the extended version. That's probably like 4 hours! The movie progresses too slowly and it's just really boring to me. And believe me, I sat through Braveheart, Saving Private Ryan, and Black Hawk down without feeling bored. Those movies are all really long but not once was I bored. This movie on the other hand had some interesting moments and very cool fights, but it had many unnecessary moments which made it boring. I closed my eyes a lot during it because I was just bored. Also, how could any human being sit through all 3 of these at one viewing at the movie theather or at home? That's just sick! You couldn't even pay me to do that. Also, how does this movie make sooooooooooooooo much more money than Braveheart, Saving Private Ryan, and Black Hawk Down? Those 3 movies are based on true events that probably our relatives participated in. Those are based on reality! Shouldn't America's audience be more interested in adaptations of war reality than adaptations of fictional war? Hey, I'm sure everyone dissagrees with this review but that's just how I feel.
