"Fellowship of The Ring Review: Goatboy Stylee"

It's alright.

Not the best film I've ever seen, not even the best film I've seen this year.
But it's alright.
Needed more monkeys and boobs.

Seriously though, it was alright.
I'm not even slightly a fan of beardy fantasy stuff, pixies make me angry. But I enjoyed this one. Don't have a burning need to see it again but it's certainly worth a watch.

Good things:
Christopher Lee throwing down in a wizard fashion.
Viggo Mortensen whupping orc-ass with fire.
The Balrog
The Cave Troll
The overall imagery - incredible effects that don't look like effects and sets.
The Mines of Moria. These things are MASSIVE

Bad things:
Liv Tyler - What was the point of her being in it? For 1:15 screen time?
Sean Astin's big fat ginger face
Elves - They look poncy and look like they've escaped from a Poison video.
Agent Smith. In drag.

I think my viewing was ruined by the utter chimps in the cinema.
These are people that clearly went because it was an evening out and The Sun called it "one of the best movies of the year".
They had no idea of what the film was about, had never heard of Lord of The Rings and just fidgeted because Bruce Willis didn't blow anything up.
Two blokes behind me stood up and said "What a crap ending. They didn't get rid of the ring".
After a brief chat with them, I learned that they had never heard of the book, had no idea there are another 2 films to come and came because "there were swords in it, like Braveheart and stuff"

I nearly set them on fire.

So, Fellowship of The Rings.
It won't cure famine, it won't bring world peace.
It's a good movie with pixies and elves and beardy wizards riding eagles.

It's alright.

I've changed my mind now.
Fellowship of The Ring was rubbish.

I may change it again tomorrow, but today I think it's 3+ hours of wizardy nonsense with midgets and pixies.

LOL!

One thing i want to know is how the actor playing Elf managed to fire so many arrows out of that bow so quickly............

:)

It was A.Joke, hence the winking face. Damn greebos. Let's all have some pixie dust now, it's good for the skin.

Has anyone else read the book?

Did you think that having read it, it left the film a little unsatisfying? I mean, knowing what was going to happen next, when it was going to happen, how they would overcome it?

And while others may have been left in suspense at the end of the film, I knew exactly what would happen in the next part.

Perhaps people who have read the book could not enjoy it that much, or perhaps its just me?

That opinion is based solely on seeing these people in Forbidden Planet and in queues outside cinemas dressed like Wizards and stuff.
Same goes with Star Wars fans.
There are both the casual fans and then those that take it to extremes.
I don't know why, but those people seem to orbit the worlds of sci-fi and fantasy.
I didn't say you were like that, sorry if it touched a nerve.

It's. A. Joke.

So wash your hair, open your curtains and stop using the internet all day.
Damn Dirty Comic-Store guy.
