Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring

The Fellowship of the Ring is up there with The Matrix and Star Wars, movies that are definitely worth seeing more than once on the big screen. J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece has now been successfully transferred to cinema format. The casting is brilliant, the special effects outstanding, and the costumes and makeup definitely have my pick for this year's Oscar. Folks who haven't read the LOTR trilogy may be disappointed by the ending to the film. Several subplots are only beginning to emerge, and of course the main adventure is far from over at the end of book one. Honestly though, I never actually read books 2 and 3 of the trilogy. Hopefully I'll be able to spare a few hours from my MBA studies over the coming months, and at least finish The Two Towers before the movie version comes out next Christmas.
