The first movie in the best trilogy of all time. There will never be, nor has there ever been a series of movies this legendary.

Still visually stunning even after 20+ years. Iconic cinema Masterpiece.

Fashioned by a buff, The Lord of the Rings is a banquet for the buff in us all. I left exhausted, happy, intoxicated.
The film's single downside is a certain nagging sense of deja vu: the fact that so many of the elements of the story -- the dark force, the all-empowering object, etc. -- have been usurped over the years (by "Star Wars" and others) that you feel as if you've been down this road many, many times before.
This is high fantasy of the best kind.
That it transcends this genre -- that it is a well-crafted and sometimes stirring adventure -- is to its credit. But a true visualization of Tolkien's Middle-earth it is not.
It's full of scenic splendors with a fine sense of scale, but its narrative thrust seems relatively pro forma, and I was bored by the battle scenes.
Appearances can be very deceiving. Upon first glance, this seems like a boring and stupid film about a troupe of short people who have to take a ring somewhere that's of some consequence. But this is much too literal an interpretation. The movie is actually an elaborate metaphor for something else, which is also boring and stupid.
People often miss this nuance.

Certes, nous comprenons l’importance de cette oeuvre et de son adaptation au cinéma… il est vrai qu’elle a inspiré le petit monde de la fantasy (et heroic fantasy) et cela, dans bien des domaines différents… et puis, le film n’est pas du tout woke comme tous les films de merde modernes de notre époque progressiste woke (de merde) (et en cela, il doit être salué avec toute la déférence qu’il **** outre, il est vrai que les jolis effets spéciaux sont très poétiques… il faut reconnaître également une histoire bien niaise avec des personnages bien neuneus, notamment ces demeurés de ‘Hobbits’ (des têtes de… non, c’est juste pour la rime !). C’est aussi -il faut bien le dire- de la fantasy bien pourrie et très con-con… de la fantasy de supermarché tirée de ces bouquins pour les mômes.
Le film est évidemment long comme un jour sans pain et souffre de graves longueurs et de bavardages ridicules, presque aussi ridicules que ses personnages sortis d’un vieux Kinder Surprise qu’on avait oublié derrière le placard.
La réalisation reste heureusement soignée… sauf dans les combats (c’est zoomé, bougé, confus… une horreur, franchement !). La musique n’arrête pas de beugler… ou de couiner. C’est pénible. Mais le pire, qu’est-ce qu’ils sont bêtes, tous tant qu’ils sont !… alors la ‘communauté de l’anneau’… mon cul !
