Title: Liked It Overall, But Bored in Part
Review: "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is grandly photographed, stays as true as it reasonably can to the book, and is deliciously presented, but I was bored with some parts.I realize that might come across offensive to those who love or will love the movie. However, I felt as if so many or the fight scenes were re-runs of the previous fight scene, like a video game waiting to happen. Different bad guys, different location, but same battle.I wanted to like this more. The scenes were beautiful... sumptuous, but I had trouble getting past the fight scenses. They seemed unnecessarily violent, and didn't display the wizardry I expected from Gandalf.However, I do recommend "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring." It brings home classic storytelling, and archetypal adventure. I plan to see the other two installments, and I'd love to see more about Bilbo Baggins'.Anthony Trendl
