Synopsis

Based on J.R.R. Tolkien's classic novel, this epic story tells of a young Hobbit named Frodo, who embarks on a mighty quest to destroy an ancient ring that could unleash a dark power on the Earth.

Review

Some of the most lyrical, transcendent images to ever appear on screen are married with balls-to-the-wall filmmaking in the intense and glorious first installment of Lord of the Rings. And it's important to note that this is just the first part, because after sharing three hours of the glorious quest of hobbit Frodo Baggins (Wood), it can be frustrating to have no climax or resolution to the plot threads. But J.R.R. Tolkien's fans wouldn't have it any other way. In this installment, Frodo discovers the terrible history of the One Ring, and joined by an elite group of different races, most notably wizard Gandalf (a majestic McKellen) and warrior Aragorn (Mortensen), he sets across Middle-earth to find the one location where the Ring can be destroyed. Tolkien basically created the fantasy genre, and here director Jackson creates a new standard for the fantasy film, the first of its kind to be so seamlessly immersed in its world (despite having special effects in just about every shot). The adventure is wondrous and often terrifying, a road trip with many sharply rendered villains both external and internal. Best of all, Jackson doesn't pander to any audience, hoping to bring the lowest common denominator up to his high level.
