Summary: Based on trilogy by J.R.R.Tolkein.One ring to rule them all.
Bilbo, an aging hobbit, leaves the shire and his nephew, Frodo, whom he adopted.  He leaves behind the ring that he found many years ago in a cave in habited by a creature by the name of Gollum.  This ring is the one ring created by Sauron and extremely powerful and evil.  Frodo has to take the ring to Rivendell and the elves but the ring will not be safe in Rivendell as assumed and so the Fellowship of the ring forms, bringing together many kinds of people and binds them to one another and to Frodo and his quest.

My Review: The scenery of the film is magnificent and extremely beautiful,film has great use of camera language and music and Peter Jackson has worked wonders with this magical tale and note the signature camera shot of the Extreme Close-Up (ECU) particulary during very emotional and emotive scenes.  A powerful film in many ways and brilliant for all the family.

Rating: 10/10 = thrilling and powerful

Worth buying?: It has come down in price since it's original release and itis coming up to its 10th anniversary but whatever the price it is worth buying and the extended edition with extra scenes and fantastic extra footage is a definate must have!
