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.
