The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring

The highly anticipated first instalment based on JRR Tolkien's epic fantasy series, starring Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler, Cate Blanchett and Ian Holm. Directed by Peter Jackson.

Newsweek

'The movie works. It has real passion, real emotion, real terror and a tactile sense of evil that is missing in other current movies dealing with wizards, wonders and wickedness. Jackson's fierce, headlong movie takes high-flying risks: it wears its earnestness, and its heart, on its muddy, blood-streaked sleeve.'
