Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring

In 2001, J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings books were definitively brought to life with Peter Jackson’s The Fellowship of the Ring.  Over 4 years in development, Jackson and his crew scouted locations in New Zealand and found ways to seamlessly bring this fantasy world to life in a very realistic way, molding sets into the landscape in a way that made them seem like they had always been there.  Many fans consider the casting to be perfect for the characters they portrayed, and the art design and costumes helped to immerse movie goers into the world of Middle Earth.  Made for $93 mil, The Fellowship of the Ring went on to make just under $900 mil at the box office, and single handedly re-invigorated the epic fantasy trilogy movies movement in Hollywood.  But does it hold up?  Listen as Jon, Colin and Dave journey to Bag End and beyond to travel with the fellowship to see if the trip is smooth sailing and safe behind sword, axe and bow, or if Sauron and Saruman are too strong a tag team, using magic and fire to burn everyone’s memory of this movie.
