Movie review  

Lord of the rings: fellowship of the ring 

Director: Peter Jackson  

Cast: Ian Mckellen, Elijah Wood, Viggo Mortensen, Cate Blanchett  

Genre: Fantasy  

Year: 2001   

Review 

The story is about the fellowship that needs to destroy the One Ring in the rift of loss to destroy The Ring, to end its influence on the Middle Earth. The  movie is very well done and the acting is amazing, specially Ian Mckellen as Gandalf the Grey, and Ellijah Wood as Frodo Baggins, because they brought the characters out of the books, such as Frodo and Gandalf the Grey, one of the most beloved characters of the franchise. The movie is very well done and the ambiance is very rich, briging Tolkien´s book to life. Even tough this movie lasts 3 hours, you can enjoy it and don´t see time passing by.

This movie occurs after The fellowship of The Ring movie. The movie is about Frodo Baggins and his friend Sam, continuing their task of attempting to destroy The Ring, to do this they find Gollum, who guides them to Mordor. The Fellowship of the Ring is dissolved due to the fall of Gandalf, and the Hobbits Pippin and Merry are kidnapped, so Legolas, Aragorn, amd Gimli go rescue them from the Uruk-hai and the orcs. Saruman is back with many evil spells, wich he uses to command armies and kill people. When Legolas and Aragorn are looking for the two Hobbits they battle one of Saruman´s armies along side with the King Grim Snaketongue, who looses his son to Saruman´s armies. After Aragorn and Legolas free Pippin and Merry, Sam, Frodo and the Gollum go to Mordor to find a entrance to the Rift of loss, and after that Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and Eomer find out that Gandalf is alive. Gandald finds out that Grim is helping Saruman and is concerned about Saruman´s plans. This plot is very nice, because it makes the plot of the franchise more dynamic.

The Army of Mordor invades Osgliath and Aragorn recives fron Elrond the Sword Enduril, and Aragorn is warned bout the theat that is going up  the  river, and if Aragon don´t make dead fight for him, he they will lose Tirith mines, so the knights of Roham and Aragon go to the Rift of the death to convince the dead. The Tirth mines are fenced by Sauron´s army and Gollum misleads Frodo the Laracna´s den and is kidnaped by orcs, Sam Rescues Frodo and go the Mountain of Loss. Gimli, Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas, Eomer, Pippin and Merry alongside with the armies of Gondor and Rohan battle Sauron´s forces, and The Ring is destroyed by Frodo.

On the start, we have an elderly Bilbo writting his book about his adventures with the dwarfs, then the flash back ends. The sotry beings with Bilbo relaxing on his bench, util Gandalf apears, invites him to a adventure, but Bilbo refuses, the next day the dwarves appear except for Thorin that appears later (and the dwarves eat Bilbo’s entire food stock), on the journey, to the kingdom that Smaug is keeping as his property, they are attacked by the trolls, and after being attacked again by other creatures,, and Bilbo alongside with the dwarfs they are stacked by Azog and the goblins and go to a dungeon, then Bilbo falls and gets the One Ring from Gollum.

Genre: Fantasy 

Year: 2013 

Cast: Ian Mckellen, Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Benedict Cumberbacht, Orlando Bloom 

Genre: Fantasy  

Year: 2013  

The movie starts with a flashback of Gandalf convincing Thorin to seek the Arken stone which is kept by Smaug. After the flashback, it is explained why Bilbo is with the dwarfs. The next part of the journey to the Lonely Mountain is to cross the Forest of Darkness to go The Lake City. After that, Bilbo gets the Arken Stone beucause the dwarfs don’t care about the city having a war over the dragon’s treasure. After Bilbo steals the Stone, Smaug goes after him to get the Stone back, and he destroys the city by spiting fire on the entire village. This movie is my least favourite because of the destruction of the village, but the dragon is very well done alongside with the special effects.
