What is the movie about : The fellowship of the ring takes place in its own world and in its own time. The main characters are Frodo and Gandalf. Gandalf is a wizard and Frodo a hobbit. Frodo is about 20 years old and Gandalf is pretty old. Gandalf is one of the only who knows about ‘the ring’ which belongs to Bilbo who is a friend of Frodo. Bilbo is very old as well and he wants to get rid of the ring. He gives it to Frodo. The ring has special powers, the only problem is that if you use those powers Sauron (‘The dark lord’) knows were you are. And then you are in mortal danger because Sauron wants the ring (which once belonged to him) back. Frodo found out that the ring, which was created by ‘The dark lord’, had to be destroyed. But the only place where the ring can be destroyed is at ‘Mount Doom’ and that is a part of the world where Sauron rules. Frodo starts his journey to Mount Doom with Gandalf, Arwen, Boromir, Aragon, Gimly and two friends on his side. After being followed and attacked by all sorts of dangerous creatures who are on Sauron’s side they reach an island. By the time they had reached the island, they already had lost Gandalf. On that island was a very big battle between ‘Frodo’s followers’ and ‘Sauron’s followers’. Frodo had become fed up with being in danger only because of wearing a ring, so he escaped in a small boat while ‘his’ warriors were fighting. After the battle the warriors followed Frodo because he was in mortal danger when he was travelling alone with the ring in his pocket. Here is were the film ends, there are coming two more films about The Lord of the Rings where the story continues. Background information : Directed by Peter Jackson

Made in New Sealand , 2001
This movie is a trilogy. The first one is called ' The Lord of the Rings: The fellowship of the ring ' and the second is called ' The Lord of the Rings: The two towers ' and the third and the last one is called ' The Lord of the Rings: The return of the king '. Opinion : Before I saw this movie, I had heard a lot about it. Most of it was positive. And after seeing it I really join those opinions. Everything is just so beautiful, the landscapes, the outfits, the way how it has been filmed, everything. I think that peter jackson chose the right country (new sealand), the right actors, the right music (enya) and the right outfits. The film is meant to be a little mysteriously, and I think that those beautiful hills and relaxing music really makes the film even more mysterious. Another good thing is that ‘the fellowship of the ring’ is about three hours long and it is just interesting for the full three hours. The thing I liked the most were all those big battles between ‘Frodo’s followers’ and ‘sauron’s followers’.
