VHS Movie Reviews of Lord of Rings: Fellowship of Ring (2pc) (Ws Exp) [VHS]
Movie Review: It's Tolkien, but ... This movie is good in the way Peter I guess didn't have all the time for the movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie, I love the book and the series even more. Peter Jackson did an excelent job of creating this series and this opening movie. I did miss a lot of the details in which the director, Peter Jackson, I guess just couldn't find time to put into the movie. I see that the main idea of the plot is followed correctly and some stunning visual effects are used, including pieces in the movie that you don't find out in the book without extensive reading and study... That said I miss the first time the character Sam meets elves (on their way from Hobbiton to Buckland) and I also would have loved to see the feature in the book of Tom Bombadil and the Old Forest with moving trees and the great giant old tree which tries to crush Merry and Pippin in that area. The Barrow Downs and the Barrow Wights animation was sorely missed also... but the general overall theme of the movie hed together very well, and it lead perfectly into the rest of the trilogy in which if Peter would have included all the details of the book, would have put all of the audience asleep.
Still the book is better, but takes patience, and the movie is fun in seeing the visuals of the characters.
Summary of Lord of Rings: Fellowship of Ring (2pc) (Ws Exp) [VHS]
In every aspect, the extended VHS edition of Peter Jackson's epic fantasy The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring blows away the theatrical version. No one who cares at all about the film should ever need to watch the original version again. Well, maybe the impatient and the squeamish will still prefer the theatrical version, because the extended edition makes a long film 30 minutes longer and there's a bit more violence (though both versions are rated PG-13). But the changes--sometimes whole scenes, sometimes merely a few seconds--make for a richer film. There's more of the spirit of J.R.R. Tolkien, embodied in more songs and a longer opening focusing on Hobbiton. There's more character development, and more background into what is to come in the two subsequent films, such as Galadriel's gifts to the Fellowship and Aragorn's burden of lineage. And some additions make more sense to the plot, or are merely worth seeing, such as the wood elves leaving Middle-earth or the view of Caras Galadhon (but sorry, there's still no Tom Bombadil). The only drawback is that the film is now spread over two tapes, but that's a minor inconvenience. The extended VHS edition is the Fellowship video to rule them all. --David HoriuchiAction & Adventure VHS Video
