Boromir was hopelessly lost, but at the same time valiant and strong. He was my favorite character in the books, and his essence transcends the film. Legolas's bowmanship was amazing he looked so natural loosing his arrows machine-gun style. Bloom captured the archer's very movements he treads lightly and fights fearlessly. Speaking of Elves, I can't help but gush over the handsome and ever-so-talented Orlando Bloom as noble Legolas. Liv Tyler is ethereal and breathtaking, but at the same time displays the courage and magic that make the Elves the beings they are. In the books, you have to read the whole trilogy and then rifle through the appendix in "The Return of the King" to learn the history between Aragorn and Arwen. Some may have complained about Arwen's character being slightly expanded I thought it a good change. He physically represents Strider to the nines with his strength and virility the action sequences of his are very passionate and exciting. He has the ability to make Aragorn both menacing and kind. Pippin and Merry were congenial, slow-witted lads, but very brave nonetheless. Sean Astin ("Rudy" forever to me) was loyal and a bit bumbling, just like the Gamgee of Tolkien's telling. The rest of the Hobbiton gang was well-chosen, too. But his weaknesses and strengths make his Frodo an apt choice for the starring character. You could tell from the first glimpse that Frodo was special Wood's pale, sharp features contrast sharply with the more ruddy, robust look of the rest of the hobbits. Elijah Wood, though not one of my favorite actors, was believable. However, I was not disapointed in the least. All I can say is, "Wow." I was a little apprehensive about the casting at first I'd created such real images of the characters in my imagination, I almost didn't want them spoiled for me. The entire backdrop of the movie (the mountains, Moria, Isengard) was perfect it's amazing that "Fellowship" was filmed in one country. Rivendell had a little bit of a European-tourist-trap look, but was beautiful all the same. Mordor was frighteningly well done, extremely real. The Shire was almost exactly as I'd pictured it. The entire movie is full of beautiful sets and landscapes. Also, showing the last battle of Isildur and Sauron helped unfog a part of the novel that had me a trifle confused. Cate Blanchett has a wonderfully deep and emotional voice the way she speaks Galadriel is almost as effective as her appearence as the Elven queen. It also immediately involved me in the film I felt I had an insider's advantage on the rest of the audience. I thought that having Galadriel tell what was basically the prologue of the book was a good idea, as it helped those who had never read the story. The feelings I had while reading the series were heightened seeing it come to life in the stunning movie. But seeing the possibility of the movie, I immediately went out and read the whole thing, insisted on receiving it for Christmas, and enjoyed every minute of it. A fight breaks out, and the coalition is easily defeated and driven back to Leopon Plains.When I first saw the trailers for "The Fellowship of the Ring," I had never had any interest in reading the lengthy tome of a trilogy.
