The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 3.5/5 (R)

As expected I liked it a lot more than I remembered the first time around. Still difficult to see what all the fuss is about (i.e topping public polls of greatest films of all time) and also explaining what my problems are. It gets a lot better once the Fellowship is formed which makes me think it would be a better film overall if that first 90 minutes had been heavily edited down.
