Review Detail

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is already one of the top five fantasy films of all time...no matter what version of the film you watch, you're getting something special. This edit is heavily based on the popular Extended Edition, with a few minor cuts to the beginning, and a masterful melding of the Theatrical and Extended Editions for the Shire opening which utterly delighted me! I couldn't tell whether there were any additional cuts beyond the first 30 minutes or so...but this is the one film in the excellent Trilogy that any edits are virtually always arbitrary in nature. Of course I have a 'definitive cut' of the film in my head, but you can't go wrong here, whether it's your 1st or 20th time viewing.
