Description
Elderly hobbit Bilbo Baggins relinquishes possession of a golden ring possessing magical powers to Frodo, his youthful heir. Charged with casting the ring into the fires from which it was forged, the young hobbit begins an arduous trek across Middle-earth, accompanied by a stalwart band including his best friend Sam, the mercurial wizard Gandalf, the warrior Aragorn, and the blustery Gimli, among others. Opposed by the treacherous sorcerer Saruman and the demonic emissaries of Sauron, the Dark Lord, this ever-embattled Fellowship makes its way slowly toward the dark land of Mordor.

Might be my favourite movie of all time. I don't really have a single thing to complain about here, except (maybe) that even in the extended edition, the warg attack still isn't in the film. Oh well.

Beautiful job. Sticks mostly to the books but is a work of art in and of itself.
