The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Country: US/NZ
Technical: DeLuxe/Super 35 178/208m
Director: Peter Jackson
Cast: Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler, Viggo Mortensen, Cate Blanchett, John Rhys-Davies, Christopher Lee, Hugo Weaving, Sean Bean, Ian Holm
Synopsis:
Inhabitants of Middle Earth, strong and weak, fight to preserve, then destroy, a ring which is inherently bound to its former owner, an evil spirit thought dead for two and a half thousand years.
Review:
Lavishly realized pictorialization of Tolkien, which manages to speak to the unconverted without offending purists too much. The actors wisely take it all quite seriously and New Zealand looks by turns like a Disneyland paradise or a place of rugged beauty.
