However, the movie stands up as one of the best fantasy films ever made. Ultimately, the story feels a bit unfinished, as The Fellowship of the Rings is the beginning of a trilogy. The action is thrilling and looks great, and the settings and locations are absolutely entrancing. Dialogue is engaging to watch, thanks to a great script and the characters represented are faithful to the source material. At the very worst, the film can seem a bit boring at times, but nearly every scene is important and necessary. Nearly every aspect of The Fellowship of the Ring is a result of master craftsmanship. There are also some fantastic antagonistic characters, like the creeping humanoid Gollum (Andy Serkis), morally questionable wizard Saruman (Christopher Lee), and a slew of horrifying orcs. Between Boromir (Sean Bean), Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies), the main cast is incredibly well acted and written. Besides the Hobbits, we are eventually introduced to a wide assortment of people who join Frodo on his journey. The movie’s pace gives us enough time to become invested with each character, including the other characters that get added onto the group later. This is due to a smart use of practical effects and using real actors for various creatures instead of CGI. Even now, over a decade since the film’s release, the special effects hold strong. The world that Peter Jackson and the rest of the crew have created is absolutely stunning. Although it can feel lengthy and a bit slow paced, Frodo’s journey is ripe with incredibly memorable scenes, locations, and characters.
