First movie :: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring



Better than the first movie, director Peter Jackson and the actors are already looser in the film, trying to do more than was in the book by JRR Tolkien, several scenes were placed, although not in the book, and several parts of the book were taken weft, which has three hours.

For fans of Tolkien faithful to the book, maybe they will find the infinitely superior first film, the fact that he will strictly followed the book, unlike what we see in this.



The fact that the inclusion of new ideas and scenes for the movie is better, after all, this is an adaptation of the book, and several parts of the book can not work in the film, thus making these new scenes covering some defects of adaptation. And let's say in passing: Peter Jackson knows what he does. He managed to attract the attention of not only fans, but also people who had never read the book, and neither party did not disappoint, making a faithful adaptation and very good at the same time, something very hard to find in adaptations of works materials as 'The Lord of the Rings'.



Here, the fragmentation into three cores (Frodo / Sam / Gollum - Merry / Pippin / Ents - Aragorn / Legolas / Gimli) provides a spectacle that enchants the eyes of truth, the climax of the film divided into three simultaneous battles, but it takes some tension found in the Company. Lacking a little of that tension in the core of the second movie.

In part, the feeling is that the flashback involving Arwen (Liv Tyler) and Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) is an excess expendable. Jackson's explanation for the entry of the Elves in the war could summarize the participation of Galadriel. Moreover, the extract from Lady of Lothlorien, as a kind of impartial narrator who puts order in the plot, comes at a time suited the film.



The battle in which 10 000 orcs 300 men fight leaves everyone jaw fallen, showing that the special effects are perfect, and can hold your attention. The entire movie is the climax of the story, after all, the whole movie is just the middle of a charming and timeless story about a group who must destroy a ring that can end the world in which they live. The first part introduced us to the world of these characters, and this second part dispenses such introductions, taking us directly to the story. And now the third part will take us to the end of the most anticipated movies.

Peter Jackson has managed to create a masterpiece in which you believe to be in another world, so much perfection that is the middle ground, it uses special effects and revolutionaries is looser in this plot, in which you do not even notice who was sitting in the armchair for three hours, when the movie ends.
