A FILM REVIEW by Carmen

THE LORD OF THE RINGS (2001-2003)

 

 The film the Lord of the rings is based on the book by J.R.R. Tolkien and comprises 3 epic films: the fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002) and, finally, The return of  the Kind (2003).

   The 3 films were written and directed by Peter Jackson. It stars Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn and Elijah Wood as Frodo Bolson. Between the three films won 17 Oscars including Best Movie, Best Director, Best Soundtrack and Best Visual Effects.

   The films are set in the fictional world of Middle-Earth. They were filmed on location in New Zeland during three years.

   The films follow the adventures of the Hobbit Frodo Bolson and his friends in their mission to destroy the One Ring and annihilate the Dark Lord. Frodo, Sam and Gollum try to reach the Sauron’s Castle. While the wizard Gandalf and Aragorn unite and lead free people during several battles against the forces of evil.

   I strongly recommend The Lord of the Rings. The three films have action, adventures and a lot of fantastic visual effects. If you like fantasy films, you love The Lord of the Rings.
