With The Fellowship of the Ring, Peter Jackson starts off the epic trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. ... For me, the opening minutes of Fellowship are similar to those of Saving Private Ryan. ... We learn more about the Ring, its powers, and its effects on its users via Bilbos odd behavior and Gandalfs growing realization that the ring the little Hobbit possesses is indeed the One Ruling Ring of Power. The Ring exhibits an almost omnipressence throughout the film, and that all begins here. ... Yet in the end, a Fellowship of nine is formed to set out on this very adventure to Mordor. Frodo is the Ringbearer, and it is his job to destroy the Ring in the fires of Mount Doom. ... In the books, Frodo has a vision of Bilbo almost becoming Gollum-like when he asks to see the Ring. ... Yet in the movie, Bilbo undergoes a swift physical change, and lunges for the Ring. Is that another power the Ring confers on its bearers, the ability to change their appearance, and freak out on people? ...
The Fellowship journeys south, and soon discover they can not take their desired path. ... The Fellowship soon discovers that they are being followed through the mines by Gollum. ... The problem with this scene is the proximity of Gollum to the Fellowship. ... Next shot of Gollum, and hes peering over something, and seemingly looking at the Fellowship. ... Once he does fall, though, the slow motion, the sad music, and the reactions of the remaining Fellowship members help to make the audience truly feel the loss of Gandalf the Grey. ... Yes, a great light emits from Galadriels ring in the book, and darkens out everything save her, yet she does not go laser light show nor extremely angry as in the movie. ...
For all of the pre-movie worry and anticipation, in many ways The Fellowship of the Ring turned out to be the least changed of the three movies, from book to film.
