Lord of the Rings : Fellowship of the Ring (1 viewing)
Plot : An evil ring is passed down to a young hobbit , though coincedentaly is now the target of a powerfull (and evil) sorcerer.
Story : Bilbo Baggins is the holder of a powerfull ring that has been kept in secret for thousands of years - and has been passed around through many different hands. Though that's thrown aside to introduce The Shire - home to all the hobbits. Hobbits are basicly short humans , with unknown magical strength - they keep to themselves in the shire : none of them have actually been outside of the shire - except Bilbo (who's birthday is being celebrated). Gandalf the Grey - a wizard and Bilbo's good friend : comes to the shire for celebration. Bilbo announces that he is leaving the shire and vanishes into thin air - with the help of the ring. He leaves the ring behind for Frodo and begins his journey.
But , the ring has a mind of it's own and seeks it's evil master - while tempting anyone who comes near it that it will reward them with vast amounts of power. Gandalf quickly finds out the orgins of the ring and sends Frodo and his friend Sam on a adventure that turns into something else entirely.
Pacing : The movie is four hours in length - but it's never boring or tedious. This is due to the fact that there is so much story for the movie to explore , it's character's are all developed and you'll feel for each one of them toward the end.
Visuals : Again , the movie is four hours long - but it never ceases to amaze you. I'm pretty sure this is the biggest budget for a movie ever - and you can see where the money went. Huge gigantic scale shots of real places blended into huge CGI landscapes and then the action scenes become CGI fests as well. Peter Jackson has earned my respect as a visuall master with the amazing amount of stuff you will see in this movie.
Sypnosis : An amazing story told at a great pace with visuals that are in a leauge of their own.
