Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

Cast: Alan Howard (The Ring - voice), Noel Appleby (Everard Proudfoot), Sean Astin (Sam Gamgee), Sala Baker (Sauron)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring page.

In spite of not being interested in the books enough to even finish the first, I was excited about the movie for the special effects and thought it would make the stories more interesting to me. I even though that perhaps I'd give the novels another try after watching the movie. Not exactly in the cards, I guess.

I'm pretty sure I fell asleep for a couple minutes. Perhaps it was because we saw the movie after Christmas Eve dinner and I was just too wiped out to enjoy a 3-hour movie. But, I don't think so. I think it just wasn't my style of movie.

Everyone else in the family and friends group I went with loved the movie and the special effects. Sadly, I wasn't even impressed with the special effects. I just listened to everyone rave and didn't comment. No need to bring anyone down when they're super-excited.

Not looking forward to the sequels. I'll probably rent those, rather than wasting time and money in a theater. If I rent, I can do other things while sort of watching the movies.

Grade: D+
