Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

So in my last entry I did my last Harry Potter review. So now we'll go onto the Lord of the Ring and Hobbit films. As you all know the Lord of the Rings trilogy is one of the most legendary trilogies of all time, and I can see why. Like I said before, they're some of my favourite films of all time as well. What's the story? Well, I'm sure you already know the story of the Lord of the Rings. It opens with a bunch of elves and men fight the armies of the Mordor, the home of the dark lord "Sauron" the creator of the Ring of Power. The prince "Eseldor" manages to use his father's broken sword to cut of Sauron's fingers and remove the ring. Sauron then exlodes. Eseldor kept the ring because the ring has a will of it's own and it corrupted his mind. He died though and the ring fell into the sea. Thousands of years later someone finds it named "Sméagol" and it turned him into "Gollum" played by "Andy Serkis." Hundreds of years later the ring leaves him and is found by a Hobbit by named "Bilbo Baggins." 70 years later it's his birthday and his old friend named Gandalf played by "Ian McKellen." That night, at his party he uses the ring to become invisible and goes to his home but Gandlf is already there. The ring begins to drive Bilbo mad but Gandlf manages to snap him out of it and Bilbo leaves the ring behind as he's going to Rivendell. Later Frodo Baggins, played by "Elijah Wood" comes home and Gandalf tells him where Bilbo's gone. He gives Frodo the ring and leaves. Sometime later Gandalf comes back and tells Frodo that the ring is the Ring of Power. He tells Frodo it's not safe for it to be in the Shire he tells him to go to Bree and he'll see him there as he goes to see someone. Outside the window, Samwise Gamgee, played by "Sean Astin," listens and so Gandalf tells him to go with Frodo. Gandalf goes to see "Saruman" played by "Christiphor Lee" (R.I.P), but it turns out he's turned evil and has joined with the spirit of Sauron that still lives. He also tells him that the Ring Wraiths are after Frodo and the ring. He traps Gandalf at the top of his tower. Along the journey Frodo and Sam are joined by "Meriadoc" or "Merry Brandybuck" played by "Dominic Monaghan" and "Peregrin" or "Pippin Took" played "Billy Boyd" They make it to Bree where they meet "Aragorn" played by "Viggo Mortinson." The Ring Wraiths get there too but they manage to lose them. The next night the Wraiths find them again and one staps Frodo with it's sword but Aragorn manages to fight them off. Frodo begins to turn into a Wraith himself but an female elf named "Arwen" played by "Liv Tyler" manages to get Frodo to Rivendell where he's healed and back to normal. There Frodo is reunited with Gandalf, Sam, Merry, Pippin and Bilbo. At one point Gandalf talk to "Lord Elrond" played by "Hugo Weaving" who also played the Red Skull in Captain America. He tells him that the ring an't stay there because he knows Sauron's forces would go ther to get it. He also tells him that he's going to call a bunch of people from Middle Earth to meet there and make a plan on what to do. At the meeting Elrond says the ring must be taken to Mordor and thrown into the fires of Mount Doom which is the only way to destroy it and Frodo says he'll take it and Gandalf, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Aragorn, Legolas, played by "Orlando Bloom," Gimli, played by "John Rhys-Davies" and "Boromir" played by "Sean Bean" all agree to go with him and help him get there. And you know the rest. So what's good about this film? Well the C.G.I and green screen shots are unbelievable to look at, especially since it was made in 2001. And then the fight scenes are even better. I mean it's Lord of the Rings, all the fight scene are fantastic. My favourite fight scene is in the mine of Moria with the Orcs or the final fight scene in the forest. And also the cast is amazing. Elijah Wood as Frodo is still my favourite. It's really hard to explain what else I love about about this film. I actually this is the most likable out of all 3 of them aside from the third one, and you might think it's because it's the only one from the trilogy to get a PG rating but's not really, it's hard for me to explain, I just thnk that. So yeah I love this movie a lot, especially since it was directed by Peter Jackson, who's one of my favourite directors of all time. It's great. And I'd say go see it but who hasen't?
