The Fellowship of the Ring is extraordinary but the weakest in the JRR Tolkien trilogy.

Peter Jackson's movie is a piece of wonderment beyond anything crafted for the cinema in a long time. On all fronts it is the movie of the year, and, really, people who don't like this movie in some fundamental way just don't like the movies.

Even at three hours long, the first instalment of Peter Jackson's trilogy is going to demand considerably less of your life than the original... And, as a sequence of images, The Fellowship of the Ring is undeniably dazzling.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: The Fellowship of the Ring is a perfect film. 25 years later, the soul of this film remains vigorous through it’s incredible directing, acting, score, production design and attention to detail.
