I saw it the other night and I thought it was wonderful, although I must admit my expectations of the film were neutral. I find it rare for a movie to actually pull you in as deep as Lord of the Rings did, it felt like a real place with people and creatures experiencing genuine ordeals. The visuals were georgeous, I especially liked Cate Blanchett as Galadriel, she was beautiful.
Since the Star Wars series has been destroyed with some pitiful new additions, Lord of the Rings fills a place in movies that has been vacant since the Phantom Menace.
I give The Fellowship of the Ring 9.5 out of 10.
