About this movie

In the first part of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, a shy young hobbit named Frodo Baggins inherits a simple gold ring. He knows the ring has power, but not that he alone holds the secret to the survival--or enslavement--of the entire world. Now Frodo, accompanied by a wizard, an elf, a dwarf, two men and three loyal hobbit friends, must become the greatest hero the world has ever known to save the land and the people he loves.

Ratings and reviews

Google did a solid with this one, got it for free in 2014 and now in 2021, I can watch it in glorious 4K on my RokuTv,(this is in no shape or form a sponsored review, just want to make that clear and point out how they upgraded my file from 1080p back in 2014 to 4K withoutme doing absolutelyanything.) if your internet is good and your TV has 4K+HDR capabilities, this is a no-brainer.

One of the best movies ever made. Everything just worked out perfectly for pretty much the whole trilogy. Differeces with the books are more ommissions than rewrites, though theres a few & this is far from Unabridged (that would be 35 hours easily). The movies respectful of tolkien- something i dont expect from the coming JJ Abrams TV show. The Lord of the Rings can NOT be improved upon. this is a great film

LOTR is the Star Wars of my generation. Excellent story telling, memorable characters, loss, victories, and it still looks great after 20 years. My children are young, but I can't wait to share the LOTR journey with them.
