    The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. All in all, I give it a rating of nine or, preferrably, nine and a half on a scale of ten. I have a few minor grievances against it: having Gandalf bump his head in Bilbo's hobbit hole, the occassional lack of focus, and a few other things. I have not seen that Harry Potter movie, but I am sure that it cannot compete with this movie. Maybe, this movie signals the end of what I might call "the Great Movie Famine," the replacement of entertaining movies with the likes of Dude! Where's My Car?; Legally Blonde; the new Grinch movie; etc.

    Not even close!
    The Harry Potter seems to have been made with the intent to entertain those persons below the age of 15.
    Lord of the Rings completely smashed it in my opinion though it was a good film in itself.

    Dude! Where's My Car?; Legally Blonde;
    I liked those films!

    Harry Potter was a real disappointment. I start reading the book ten in the evening and got it finished next day so I could happily see the movie and say ``yes I read the book''. Perhaps it was this that made me compare the book and the movie so much and that kind of ruined my joy.

    Leaving this out I must say that it was far too childish and, *g*, that Im-a-small-boy-in-a-big-world -smile of Potter made me crazy...

    I give it a 9. It was just a really good movie. That's all.

    This was the best character 3D animation I have ever seen. They did the really hard thing - monsters - and they did them really, really well. By small comparison, Star Wars Episode One was shoty. (Heck, that Stewart Little movie had better character animation than Star Wars I...)

    For a movie, this was definitely a ten. I rated it a nine, but I would probably change that to a 10 for animation alone. If it weren't based on a wonderful book, and thus we didn't know better, I bet most people would have given it 10.

    Try "one of the best books ever written" over "pretty good"!

    I never did read the books but i did see the first movie, which was at it's cutting edge for the time it was made.
    as for it being a classic (like what? star wars, star trek, pulp fiction or run vixen run)
    I'll judge it for it's merits & that is it was an entertaining story(goes without saying) & the cinematography was excl

    so i'll give it a 9

    the only film i'll ever give 10 is DUNE battle for arracus
