魔戒影评英
① 哪位帮我写个或者找个指环王的影评（要英文的）
这个才是你要的
The reason why this first part of Jackson's 'Lord of the Rings' is superior to his latter two parts is because of restraint. Jackson was restrained from over doing it with the CGI and "epic" battle sequences, which in my opinion does not make a story epic. Part of the reason was simply because Tolkien did not have very many battles in the first part of his book, which thankfully forced Jackson to focus on creating a believable world rather than a believable hack-n-slash action movie.
I don't find much entertainment in watching people mutilate each other, but I love it when a movie engages me in a world, and 'The Fellowship of the Ring' does just that. Certainly the most breathtaking scenes in the movie are the moments of patient observation, when the camera pans around and captures the beautiful settings of Middle Earth. I must give Jackson credit. He did hire some very extraordinary artists that have envisioned one of the grandest interpretations of Tolkien's world.
There are about five particular moments that stick out in my mind and gave me that tingle of goosebumps down my spine when I saw them for the first time. The first is the introction to Hobbiton. After the somewhat awkward prologue, I was beginning to have my doubts to whether the movie would live up to the book. But the movie surprised me. Hobbiton is perfect. The houses have flower patches and old fences, the roads look worn and made through decades of travel, and the Old Mill spins with the laziness of a quiet town. Every color is vibrant and every moment looks as through it was taken out of a picture book. Although I still don't agree with the particular look of the Hobbits, I believe everything else in Hobbiton is worthy of Tolkien's words.
The second moment comes after Frodo's awakening in Rivendell, and the third, ring the exploration of the Halls of Moria. In both moments, the camera pans away from the characters and outward into a static shot of their surroundings. The moments make us feel like we're turning our heads and gazing at the world around us just as the characters do. The golden waterfalls of the elven city mark an interesting contrast with the dark halls of the dwarfish mines, but each are inspiring in their own ways and add to feeling of being engaged in a living world.
My other favorite moments come ring the exploration of Lothlorien and the passage down the Anin. And while I won't go into detail about the scenes, since they really should be experienced without any prior expectations, they are monuments in imaginative cinema. 'The Fellowship of the Ring' is one of those rare movies that I always wish I could reexperience for the first time. Unfortunately, Jackson turned away from exploring Middle Earth in his next two movies, and instead, turned to fighting and warfare. He seems to take a lot of pride in the love story and battle sequences he created in 'The Two Towers' and 'The Return of the King,' but it is was in his first movie when he really got it right. In 'The Fellowship of the Ring,' it's okay if the characters are uninteresting and have silly dialogue. Middle Earth is the star, and the characters are the ones seeing it for the first time.
We have been waiting an entire year for this one!!! The Two Towers picks up right where last years Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring leaves off. The director, Peter Jackson, did not include a recap of the last movie, so if you don't remember what happened in the first movie you better rent it and refresh your memory before you head off to the theater.
When we last left our fellowship, it had splintered apart. Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) and Sam Gamgee (Sean Astin) continue there quest to return the all powerful and evil ring to Mordor where it can be destroyed. They take on the creature Gollum (Andy Serkis) as their guide to Mordor despite Gollum's obsession with getting `his precious' back. Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) begin by trying to find the kidnapped Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd), but end up getting caught up in a battle to save a race of humans. The evil wizard Saruman (Christopher Lee), controlled by Dark Lord Sauron created a grand Uruk-hai army that is sent to destroy the race of Humans at the fortress Isengard. The presumed dead Gandolf (Ian McKellen) also returns to lend his assistance in battling Lord Sauron's troops.
This film was better paced than the first in the trilogy. There were still some breaks in the action that were a little ll, but the dialog was necessary to further the story. With three separate stories going on simultaneously between the three groups of the splintered fellowship, the film kept the action moving quickly. Clocking in at 179 minutes, it is just one minute longer than the first film. This time, I didn't mind the length. The battle for Isengard comprised about a third of the film, and it was very intense.
The rest of the film had a lot of the same excellent cinematic shots as the first movie. The shots tracking the actors from above (done by helicopter) with the beautiful New Zealand mountains and countryside in the background were just amazing. The landscapes helped to keep me involved with the story when the action slowed for dialog intensive scenes.
The creature Gollum played a very key roll in this movie, and the computer-generated character was very lifelike and amusing. He reminded me of Dobby the `house elf' in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Gollum and the Dwarf were the two main comic relief characters in this very serious film.
To conclude, we had to wait a year for this film, and it lived up to expectations! A final reminder…this is the middle film in the trilogy so you can expect another ending that leaves you wanting more! Not to worry though, the third and final film is e out next Christmas.
This is the final movie in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and certainly doesn't disappoint like some other trilogies *coughMatrixcough*. The three films had their principal shooting all done at the same time, which lowers their overall costs and keeps a good sense of continuity for the films.
The special effects, first of all, are excellent. While there's a few little things (a reversed shot with smoke flowing back into chimneys and occasional lighting that's a bit off), by and large they're excellent. The most impressive thing about them is the sheer scale. This isn't a small or simple scene; it often includes thousands of digital characters combined with filmed actors and action, sweeping landscapes, and dozens of things happening at once. This is a good reason to see it in theatres; even on DVD, there's little details that you can only catch when it's on a massive screen.
The filming is good, although there are a few evidences of digital smoothing and cutting that can nag at the mind and eyes of a picky movie-goer. There are a few interesting shots, but most are fairly plain and straight on, getting the point across without being dazzling. New Zealand's landscapes provide a great backdrop for everything going on, and there really are some beautiful places, especially up in the mountains. I hear land prices are quite good, what with the orcs warring and everything, so you may want to look into real estate purchases now.
Sound has been said to make 75% of the emotional impact of any proction. This is a loud 75%. All the sound effects are very well pulled off, sound appropriate, and are generally loud. The Nazgul screeching was bordering on painful, but in a good way. Most everything has a distinct sound, and it's rare that anything feels out of place. In some of the battles, the roof of the theatre was shaking. The soundtrack fits the movie well, and Howard Shore has done an excellent job, as with the last two films in the series.
Performances all around were good, but Sean Astin as Sam and Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn really dominated the film. They performed their roles perfectly, and came away giving a good picture of the characters. Elijah Wood seemed to be stuck with the same terrified expression on his face through most of the movie, almost Max Payne-style, and it grew old quickly. Ian McKellen, the ever-wise white wizard, had a fair bit of dialogue which he delivered well; my only complaint is he had too much in the way of wistful sayings leading to scene changes. Orlando Bloom, favorite of young teenage girls everywhere, had a few more action sequences (which got cheers from the aforementioned girls) which were quite well pulled off, but his acting wasn't much tested by this film. John Rhys-Davies continued with Gimli's joking performance; he's really too amusing to take seriously, but does a good job at it.
For the old Tolkien fans, this movie stays quite close to the book, although they did have to omit some portions, most notably the taking and retaking of the Shire and the time spent in the Halls of Healing in Minas Tirith. Hopefully some of this will show up in the Extended Edition on DVD. Shelob's attack was left until this film, and much of the time spent in Mordor was shortened for the sake of pacing, and it was a good decision.
My favorite scene would have to be the battle at Minas Tirith. The incredible scope of the battle, with the special effects, sounds, and many close-ups of pieces of the action, make for an exciting scene. The visual effects especially are stunning; the 'oliphaunts' play a big part in the action, and they're entirely created by computer. There's also some wide shots with tens of thousands of digital characters marching on the field of battle, and even the indivial actions have the masses warring as a backdrop. It's worth your movie-going dollar simply to watch this on a large screen. It was also intermingled with some smaller events inside Minas Tirith, so it's not pure battle for the whole of the scene, and it keeps it from being dreary or heavy-handed.
Overall, this is a movie well worth watching, and even paying to see in a theatre. I'd recommend against bringing small children, as there are some scary images, and they'd also be a distraction ring the final movie in what will probably remain the series of the decade. Not a particularly great date movie, either...this is a real, bring-your-friends big movie. Five out of five decapitated orcs (and trust me, there were a lot more than that).
② 这是篇魔戒的影评，有道词典翻译不靠谱，麻烦帮我翻译成英文，谢谢。
这么大一篇，你给内15分。容 The most let me pity in this movie is Guru. As a kind Hobbits, Guru killed his friend in the temptation of the ring. To avoid killing of the ring spirit, he hided in the dark and wet cave and became the slave of the ring. he Having an ungly face, he lost the ring by carelessness. Then he began his long way to look for the ring. In the force of Frodo, he began his way to Moro. On the way, Frodo helped Guru to change by trust. Guru is the representive of all races.

④ 魔戒的影评
电影别出心裁的用了咕噜从前的经历承上启下，作为《双塔奇兵》过渡到《王者无敌》的引子。像是咕噜回归现实的梦之通道。即而，新的故事开始。自然委婉，不露一丝人工刻意的痕迹。
关于咕噜不甚掉入河底恰拾魔戒，心生邪恶掐死哥哥的这段插叙。很多人认为是用来表现魔戒惟我独尊的强大恶势，以此暗示弗罗多一路上重重的精神磨难。其实从另一种角度观望，魔戒不过是面魔镜，它不是让人变坏而是将你内心险恶反射进而无限扩大在你的瞳孔。我哥说，不见得咕噜几百年前每天钓钓鱼你就看得出他曾是个单纯善良的霍比特人吧。这个小怪物后来之所以变得人不人鬼不鬼，多半是由於长久来永无休止的内心挣扎。一个人最恐惧的事莫过于自己封锁暗处的隐私抖落眼前。一个生命最艰难的事莫过于和自己灵魂上的负面持续斗争。
弗罗多也并非圣贤。他虽然心地善良却到底不过凡夫一介。日常生活中他不可能完美的毫无瑕缺。魔戒自靠近弗罗多那一天起，不仅使他踏上了千辛万苦的征途，更意味着他与自己潜藏的灵魂负面进行一场持久较量的开始。最终弗罗多也没能将魔戒扔下熔岩。而我分明读见他蓝宝石般的双眸中，那交错着不忍却无奈的绝望。他终是无法战胜外力所致的另一个自身。
《西游记》中，孙悟空那样一个曾经大闹东海地府天宫的朋克，一样在西行时屈服于唐僧和如来的管辖。最后连自己都难免变为统治阶级。西行81难如激光般炸平了石头尖锐的棱角。同时亦成了孙悟空打败自己的过程。
且不论托爷爷本意如何，对於我们这些没看过原著的人来说，一千名观众心中自有一千个哈姆雷特。如用某种深入的尺度来衡量，无疑上述论说更能体现价值感与可观性。
壮丽的战争曼陀罗
刚多国古堡留给印象的清晰轮廓，是宛如白银玉石般层层围裹在悬崖峭壁上的雄伟城池。当甘道夫骑驾白马盘绕飞驰，奔越民众和集市，直达顶端居高临下的国王寝殿。我已不难想见，佩兰诺一战的爆发将会导致怎样一种覆灭性的残酷美感。
佩兰诺战役因为有击鼓巨兽，戒灵飞龙，战象甚至一片好似《加勒比海盗》里搬来的亡灵军团进行海陆空三重参战，其场面自然要比第二部中的圣盔谷战更显壮观。飞龙时而展翅高翔时而俯冲低鸣的视角变换着赏识史诗气魄的立体切面。亡灵援军如潮如浪地蜂涌蔓延现身不为人知的冥界力量。烽火跨越山脉起伏，峰岭延绵，千年冰雪托起它在云霄之上的升腾，最终落到罗翰国缭望的边境顶点。如同一道天启星光，接连燃烧着人类共有的希望。
如此气势在恢宏程度上绝对胜于《双塔奇兵》。但是缺乏上部那种让五脏六腑为之颤抖的强烈震撼。《双》因为有美丽出尘的精灵神箭手们参战，魔军的丑恶在反衬下更加无限放大。视觉反应便是超越光速观望远古神话的上演。加上阴暗流派的背景音乐，给战场惨烈的画面增添一抹淡淡苍凉的颜色。昼之明终归不如夜之暗来的深重。所以佩兰诺光天白日下的战争，始终不及圣盔谷那种深不可测的无尽黑夜更具压抑感和紧迫感。
领略过魔戒的特技制作，什么哈里波特，什么星战终结者蜘蛛侠，真的都可以见鬼去了。我不敢这么说黑客，因为黑客蕴涵着太多晦涩难懂的哲学。但是黑客系列的战争场面显然不如魔戒系列扣人心弦。前者带来的更多是新鲜，刺激和喧哗。恍如小时候看变形金刚打来打去那般精彩而空洞的心情。隐存在机械中的人性只剩下些许冰冷的残余。然而中土平原却是充满人性情感的战地。人类无力到达善与邪的彼岸。但遥相守望的各族生灵终会重见恶势在勇气中竭尽的宽慰和释然。
观影时我无从所知。为何没有煽情的情节，不见悲剧的收场，亦无现代都市剧的孤独空虚感，没有原因没有理由却足以使我热泪盈眶。直到告别朋友们，独自回家的路上陷入冥思，才慢慢理解原来那是被高科技的社会浊蚀的本性。血液里丧失多年的温热再度沸腾，激撼着灵魂底处就快逝去的某些东西恢复了电流感应。
奇幻故事中的人性世界
西方神话无论人神，都是以人性结构为主的。古希腊神祗宙斯与众女神的感情纠葛这样体现，北欧异教的奥丁神与其众儿女亦是如此。因此魔戒故事里便有了精灵公主阿尔温和人类勇士阿拉岗之间的旷世恋情。而东方文化素来将人和神的性情以不同境界划分等级。天蓬元帅何以被贬下凡成了猪八戒，为得就是这个清规戒律。所以气质脱俗的精灵可以主动热吻阿拉岗，却始终不必像嫦娥那般寒气凌人。
但是这位神仙公主除了拥有不食人间烟火的容颜，除了透明纯蓝的眼珠和飘逸的行走姿态，几乎让人想不起她的存在理由。虽然pj导演认为叫阿尔温上战场纯属蛇足，但是仅凭声色影像的直观，确实令我无从感受她那所谓的精神意念。满眼尽是她目光呆滞，黯然失色的模样。怎么看怎么都像是等人家把仗打完了，她趁机跑去嫁给阿拉岗坐享其成。
倒是罗翰国公主伊奥温，个人感觉影片中血肉丰浓的人物之最非她莫属。自她身穿白色长裙伫立城头那一刻起，我已能想见这个女孩心中的广阔天空。她懂得如何争取自己的幸福。而面对情感的失落，她更加清楚什么才是最重要的理想追随。没有栖息的爱是比死亡还要冷酷的冰川。伊奥温执意上了战场。金发起舞如风中白帆，深绿眼瞳目光炯炯。与身边那群英勇男儿毫无差异。她和他们一样放声呐喊，预见自己终有可能倒在滚烫的血泊中央。但无论是生是死，得到的自由早已覆盖住那一点点微弱的伤。
伊奥温不是童话里的公主。她不是只会坐在华美幽黯的后宫持续无用的想念。亦不会让万段柔肠在荒野林间谱写流亡曲。她才是真正手持神剑，飞身驾马的绝世精灵，于战火硝烟的百里沙场上纵横驰骋。
电影一直用相交的两根线索编绘故事。我不理解为何很多影迷觉得弗罗多惹人厌恶。在我看来，他是人性善面的极致代表。“善良” 一词不仅仅是心肠柔软的意思。它同样包含一个人对理想的诠释和对责任的实行。这个身材矮小的霍比特人所承载的，或许是连天神都无法企及的灵魂。所以萨姆对弗罗多那种拼死护送的忠诚，绝对不能和同性倾向混为一谈。因为一个真正纯洁正义的生命，他身上自会散放出令任何人感到震摄的光芒。
听说原著语言优美非凡。不过电影台词大多采用了简明的方式。可就是这些简洁的对白，却有一股直捣人心的份量。比如开头不久萨姆把所有食物留给弗罗多时说的那句：i am not hungery。短促的言语暗中凸显萨姆作出自我牺牲时所下的决心。而当弗罗多体力不支在石壁上倒下的时候，精灵女皇向他伸出带着光和热的手掌。this task is appointed to you. if you don’t find a way, no one will。这句话并非冥冥中精灵女皇带给他的力量。而是自己必须完成的这个使命，扎在内心根深蒂固的重量。
伊奥温战胜戒灵巫师后，伏在父亲身旁哀哀哭诉：i am going to save you。国王平静说道：you always did。即尔安详地永恒沉睡。这个“did” 已是不会再有下一次机会发生的过去时。国王记忆中最后一幕长新的情景，是公主那令人即使面对死亡都会感到安慰的勇敢坚强。然而生死无情绝不为此迟疑。它依然在瞬间筑就永远不可逾越的围墙。
印象较深的还有决战前精灵哥哥对矮人说得话：what about if we die side by side with friends？记得他们以前总喜欢比试战绩。精灵哥哥轻功征战象时矮人还斤斤计较了一句：that couldn’t be counted as one。有趣的小心眼使人发笑。既然一切都将可能终结，假如死亡能让友谊和希冀永恒，那么生存的尽头又有什么值得恐惧呢？
我本是个感性的人。就连《海底总动员》这种动画片也能让我鼻腔酸楚。观看魔戒更是不止一次地湿却双眼。这种经由人性相通的连接点引发的共鸣，是否就是遗忘在成人世界里，泪水的恒温？
瑰绝的音乐诗篇
大概本身迷恋另类的关系，总觉像魔戒这样的电影，应该由深受古文明熏陶的欧洲音乐人但当配乐制作。事实上魔戒系列的原声音乐抛不开和歌特及新古典流派一脉相承的关联。起初精灵族行走林间那个场景，如诗如画，仿佛一出梦境显形在时空隧道的彼端。多么像歌特金属和darkwave一贯表达的典型意境。
由於影片需要，背景音乐的主调是澎湃激昂的。而有些场面加入些许苍凉的调子，便是喧闹背后令人动容的寂静。好比法拉墨出征时梅利的那段清唱，以及高潮处如歌剧般的男女高音合唱，都蕴含几分歌金的神秘色彩和darkwave的幽暗氛围。音乐是比画面和文字更具感染力的艺术形式。有时战争场面的气魄，或许只需一篇冰凉而惨淡的曲章，就能表现淋漓。记忆中那些沉郁悠扬的旋律，听起来仿佛远远传至的天籁。优美，似有，似无。到达耳膜深处却有一段遥遥无期的路途。
很难想象一部壮阔而漫长的史诗，如何能每个情景和细节都制作的如此精致，完美无瑕。这种感慨犹如前阵我反复聆听的速度金属。那种追求旋律速度的东西，竟也能做到重型和古典的并存。听说魔戒原本有意请奥地利乐队elend制作配乐。且不论真假，黑暗乐系的氛围与神话故事的主旨总是最贴切的。
有人说，魔戒系列实为现代科技和人力结合的智慧结晶，却是电影界的悲哀。可为什么一定要把它嵌进传统电影史的固有模式中去呢？它为我们带来绝美的视听享受，令我们重拾迷失在都市楼群中的人性情感。比起史诗的悲壮浩瀚，人类艺术观也只不过是相对渺小的产物。如果没有电脑特效的辅助，所有这些辉煌又如何灿烂在我们的瞳孔？
写到这里，室外已是暮色渐暗之时。华灯初上，纷繁夜景，恍若隔世。能够触觉到任何一种丰富的感动，生活都是个美好的存在。

《指环王》之人物 在小说《指环王》中，托尔金为我们所架构的，可能是最为复杂的一颗人物关系树。在电影中，由于篇幅的限制，仍然有许多角色与我们失之交臂。但是，因为电影本身史诗性的叙述方式、严肃的对话和心理描写、以及对演员的准确选择，使得电影中的角色令人印象深刻。 《指环王》是一部男人戏。首先，故事以一个保护戒指的小队为出发点。队员包括弗罗多在内的四个霍比人，波罗莫，阿拉贡，巫师甘道夫，矮人金雳以及精灵莱格拉斯。弗罗多和他的园丁山姆的互相扶持、皮聘和梅里的插科打诨、阿拉贡的勇敢与顽强、波罗莫的忏悔与牺牲、甘道夫的睿智与领袖气质、以及精灵莱格拉斯和矮人金雳的相互拌嘴、甚至是妖怪咕噜的双重性格，这些，都令我们为之着迷。 对于没有看过《指环王》小说的人们而言，可能电影的第一集让人最为难忘。因为这一集是对原著的精神传达得最为成功的。我们在电影的第一集里看到了一个fellowship的诞生和分裂。所谓fellowship是英文中用来形容有共同的目的而结成的同盟或者伙伴关系。而故事中保护戒指的同盟里，最重要的成员之一就是阿拉贡。 阿拉贡是埃西铎的直系后裔，钢铎王位的继承人，却放弃了王位自我放逐，因此又被称为“神行客”或者“游侠”。他所代表的一个失根的民族，因为努曼诺尔人已经被神所遗弃。他们的来源早已佚失，就像亚特兰提斯一样沉入了深不见底的大海。而阿拉贡拥有这个古代文明的一切特质。他很清楚权力、滥用权力和张狂叛逆所引发的问题。因为他是埃西铎的后代，所以他也有被戒指腐化沉沦的可能。阿拉贡时常流露出他的脆弱，不时感到对自我价值的怀疑，受到不能完成任务的折磨。 但是，阿拉贡从不隐瞒自己的脆弱，并且还能在不停的战斗中逐渐克服并且战胜自己的脆弱，如同亚纹所言，他是一个真正的英雄，他的时代必将到来。 在整个保护戒指的同盟中，与阿拉贡最为息息相关的人物就是波罗莫。波罗莫是米纳斯提利斯摄政王的长子、阿拉贡的血亲，不过，他一直不承认阿拉贡对钢铎王位的继承权。更重要的是，他一直对弗罗多手持的魔戒拥有一种近乎偏执的狂热。在托尔布兰达山脚下，波罗莫在戒指的诱惑下几乎失去自我，他袭击了弗罗多，想要抢走戒指，但是却在最关键的时刻觉醒，为了解救护戒小队的另外两名成员——霍比人梅里和皮聘，在雄浑的音乐中舍身战斗，直至牺牲... 在原著中，对于波罗莫的战死，并没有做正面的描述。也就是说，作者在处理这个人物的死亡时，更多的是带着一种罪有应得的赎罪心态来描写的。然而到了影片中，波罗莫的死亡成了影片的高潮；除了因为这场打斗戏是第一集中最惊心动魄的场面之外，导演更是借着这个人物的命运为第二集故事的继续发展作了一个良好的铺垫。波罗莫的死亡，在这样的背景之下，也从赎罪的本意上升成了英雄的赞歌，当一个人战斗至死，保住最后的荣誉之时，他所犯的罪孽就已经得到了救赎。 在影片指环王中，因为故事本身的复杂和场面的宏大，演员的发挥受到了很多限制。但即使如此，我们还是发现，有两位重量级的演员，依然将自己的个人光芒发挥的淋漓尽致：扮演甘道夫的伊恩·麦凯伦和扮演萨鲁曼的克里斯托佛·李，他们的对手戏可以说是电影的前两集中最能吸引观众目光的。 灰袍巫师甘道夫原本因为戒指一事求助于白袍巫师萨鲁曼，但不料萨鲁曼已经投身黑暗，还希望劝降甘道夫。在电影故事的进展中，由于黑魔王的缺席，正邪之战主要是发生在这两人领导的队伍之间的，也因此，甘道夫和萨鲁曼基本上代表了正邪双方的最高领袖。 虽然西方魔幻小说往往强调的是团队作用，而不是个人英雄主义；但是在电影中，甘道夫的光芒确实盖过了其他人，有他在的地方，别人都是次要的。甘道夫的本性仁慈、亲切，喜欢恶作剧但是却无比睿智，他对佛罗多和整个保护戒指的小队都起到了精神领袖的作用；同时，为了平衡萨鲁曼的邪恶力量，甘道夫虽然跌落凯撒督拇之桥，但却没有死；不仅如此，还因祸得福，升级成了白袍巫师，力量超过了萨鲁曼。 与甘道夫对应的萨鲁曼，不仅代表了自我毁灭的强大力量，也象征了人类为了一己私利而对自然的破坏；在托尔金的心目中现代科技可以说是人类最为邪恶的发明之一，它强大，蛊惑人心，让人上瘾，欲罢不能；而萨鲁曼对于自然无情的践踏，也代表了人类在满足自己欲望的过程中犯下的种种罪孽。萨鲁曼精明邪恶 充满欲望，并且巧舌如簧；他作为反派的强大力量，给我们看电影时增添了乐趣；毕竟，旗鼓相当的正邪之战才能让故事拥有更大的吸引力。原本，萨鲁曼应该有更多余地的发挥。毕竟，是他亲手将甘道夫等人引入了魔瑞亚，一手炮制了炎魔的陷阱，可惜当甘道夫大难不死，升级成了白袍巫师之后，萨鲁曼的力量就被他盖过了。 在电影的第二集中，原本控制了洛汗国国王希尤顿的萨鲁曼不仅被驱逐，到了影片末尾，萨鲁曼精心炮制的军队被愤怒的树须——一种会说话 会走路的巨型树木毁于一旦。接着，到了上映版本的电影第三集中，萨鲁曼的身影干脆完全消失了。对于这一点的补偿，来自电影的加长版本，在这一版本中，我们终于看到了萨鲁曼的结局。关于这位邪恶巫师的下场，小说和电影采取了截然不同的两种方式：在小说中，萨鲁曼最终没有死，而是被给予了最后一次机会；但在电影中，萨鲁曼却没有得到这样的机会。 萨鲁曼曾经利用过洛汗国的叛徒葛力玛，却最后被这位小人物从身后偷袭而死，再一次印证了托尔金小人物创造历史的观点。鉴于萨鲁曼的死亡，正义的一方缺乏了势均力敌的对手，在《指环王》的第三集《王者归来》中，我们所应该关注的，就只有至尊魔戒的最终命运了。 前面曾经说过，《指环王》是一场男人戏，整个故事中女性角色极端缺乏，再加以残酷的打斗和战争场面，让这部电影充满了热血的味道。除了在第一集和第二集中对阿拉贡短暂的爱情描写，让我们记住了他的情人亚纹以及他们经过罗斯洛利安时觐见过的女王凯兰崔尔；另外一位女性角色，或者说是最具有反抗意识的角色就是骠骑国国王希尤顿的侄女——伊欧文。不甘于既定命运的伊欧纹瞒着舅舅偷偷跑上了最终的战场，并且勇敢地对抗索伦最邪恶的手下——安格马的巫王。由于英语中的“人类”和“男人”都可以用同一个词来表示，所以，当巫王咆哮出：“没有人类能杀死我！”的时候，伊欧纹能够在这个语言的巧合之下结束了他邪恶的存在。 《指环王》的故事里有很多条线索同时发展，其中最重要的一条就是佛罗多和山姆这对主仆、以及他们和妖怪咕噜之间的互动。我们已经知道：咕噜原本也是霍比人，但因为贪恋魔戒而杀害了自己的好朋友，并且受到了戒指的诅咒，变得人不像人、鬼不像鬼，他的精神由于戒指的作用分裂成了两个：一个还保持着胆小怕事的霍比特人史密戈，另外一个就是贪婪扭曲的咕噜；在这两者性格的交替作用下，咕噜对故事的进展起到了很大的推动作用；咕噜和佛罗多的命运因为戒指而紧紧相连。一开始，由于戒指被比尔博·巴金斯捡走，咕噜为了寻找戒指开始了漫长的旅途，接着，是他在魔多的酷刑之下供出了巴金斯的名字，从而使得佛罗多不得不踏上逃亡的道路；当佛罗多对他饶而不杀时，咕噜又将佛罗多奉为主人。但是对于戒指的贪婪和被欺骗的误会，咕噜将佛罗多引到了蜘蛛女妖居住的巢穴...经过九死一生，我们的主角佛罗多和山姆才最终到达末日火山的山口。 确实，在佛罗多逐渐被戒指吞噬了心智而不愿意将戒指毁灭的时候，正是咕噜在欲望的驱使下和佛罗多打斗起来，最后和戒指一起跌落进火山的熔岩中。 《指环王》中最能激发人心的一点就是：我们有能力在最胆怯的时候，找到激发勇气的力量；我们的眼睛在最黑暗的时候，依然有能力看到光明。 正是这一点，最终拯救了佛罗多和山姆。而之所以说佛罗多也是一个英雄，是因为勇气无法在脱离恐惧的情况下单独存在，勇气与恐惧相生相克。佛罗多很矮小，但是他所面临的邪恶力量却很强大，他从来都不知道自己的人物是否能够完成，但是他从来没有放弃努力；虽然佛罗多没能战胜戒指的引诱，但是他和山姆却经历了无数的艰难险阻到达了旅途的终点 史诗的完结，罗曼司的落幕 《指环王》中最能激发人心的一点就是：我们有能力在最胆怯的时候，找到激发勇气的力量；我们的眼睛在最黑暗的时候，依然有能力看到光明。 正是这一点，最终拯救了佛罗多和山姆。而之所以说佛罗多也是一个英雄，是因为勇气无法在脱离恐惧的情况下单独存在，勇气与恐惧相生相克。佛罗多很矮小，但是他所面临的邪恶力量却很强大，他从来都不知道自己的人物是否能够完成，但是他从来没有放弃努力；虽然佛罗多没能战胜戒指的引诱，但是他和山姆却经历了无数的艰难险阻到达了旅途的终点。 《指环王》并不是一个希望解释命运的故事，但是托尔金相信：只要有足够的勇气和信心，弱者也能推动历史的车轮。小人物创造了历史，因为他们别无选择。与英勇战斗的甘道夫、阿拉贡相比，佛罗多的勇气并不输给他们。 在刚铎的大军和魔多的邪恶交战的时候，是一个妖怪和两个身高不倒人类一半的霍比人最终燃起了胜利的火把！ 经过三年漫长的等待，电影《指环王》三部曲终于完结了。《指环王》是一部伟大的罗曼司，它的故事虽然已经结束，但是从某个角度上来说，充满幻想的冒险才刚刚开始！彼得·杰克逊的电影将我们带入了一个自成一体的世界，完美地诠释了电影最令人着迷的特质，那种让我们彻底忘记现实的逃避主义！ 在《指环王》的故事中有着古希腊神话、北欧神话、甚至是盎格鲁萨克逊神话的影子，再贯穿以莎士比亚般优美的语言、瓦格纳音乐的磅礴大气、欧洲经典绘画和建筑的精华，格里菲斯、弗里兹·朗格、爱森斯坦，甚至是黑泽明式的电影风格，所以，对很多人而言，《指环王》是一部无法比拟的优秀作品，引人入胜，甚至能启发灵感。彼得·杰克逊将托尔金的神话带入了新世纪，《指环王》拯救了岌岌可危的所谓史诗电影！不过，关于电影《指环王》和原著相比，孰优孰劣，可能永远也不会有定论。小说和电影的魅力体现在不同的方面，那些认为这两种截然不同的艺术形式之间可以顺利转换的想法是不切实际的。无论承认与否，托尔金旨在为英格兰创造神话的努力已经影响到了全世界。《指环王》使传奇性的艺术得以复兴，它制造了崇高和庄严。另外，这部电影会使一小部分观众被吸引到神话的世界里。对于托尔金，神话是一个理想的窗口，比我们所拥有的更明亮或更黑暗，它是一个放大镜，折射出一个平凡而绝望的现代灵魂心中最深切的渴望。 关于《指环王》所代表的意义，可以有各种各样的理解。最后黑魔王索伦的力量崩溃，正像在瓦格纳歌剧中，神放弃了自己的统治一样，然而诸神的黄昏是一次不可预料的权利转移。人皇之子阿拉贡登基；几个霍比人回到了自己的故乡，平静地开始新生；精灵和矮人再一次退居到自己的世界，人人都获得了幸福的未来。然后，故事并没有随之结束，在驶向另一个彼岸的旅途中，又一部伟大的罗曼司再次开始！
⑥ 指环王英语影评
I ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892, in Bloemfontein, South Africa, where his father was a bank manager. After his father’s death, Ronald, then aged four, his mother, and younger brother moved to the English village of Sarehole, in the West Midlands. Thereafter, Tolkien always retained an idealized image of the Sarehole Mill, its old mill pool and overhanging willow tree, a tempting nearby mushroom patch, and the local clusters of cottages—all of which figured in his picture of Hobbiton. At this time young Ronald was already discovering two interests that were to shape his life: languages and stories about imaginary places. When his mother moved the family to Birmingham, the urban atmosphere with its trains and factories was much more forbidding and he later encouraged people to "escape" from such environments through imaginative literature.
During his years at King Edward's school in Birmingham and later at Oxford University, Tolkien concentrated on philology, moving from languages such as Latin, Greek, German, and French, to Old and Middle English, Gothic, Old Norse, Welsh, and Finnish. During his childhood Tolkien had started "making up" languages and as an undergraate at Oxford he continued this practice, evolving from Finnish and Welsh what eventually became the languages of the elves in Middle Earth. His work with the signal corps of the British army from 1916 to 1918 ring World War I stretched his linguistic talents in a different direction.
After the war Tolkien worked briefly on the Oxford English Dictionary, before moving into the profession in which he was to spend the rest of his life: teaching. He was first invited to join the English department at Leeds University; five years later he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, a position he held for 34 years. At Oxford he did much to demonstrate the strong bonds between what had been two rival fields: language and literature. Among his academic works medievalists have consistently praised his translation of the Middle English poetic romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and the posthumously published translations of The Pearl and Sir Orfeo. It is significant that the most prominent of his many studies in Anglo-Saxon literature should be his published lecture on "Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics" (1936). As a child Tolkien had loved dragon stories and the anonymous Anglo-Saxon Beowulf-poet created one of the greatest dragons of literature, a model for Tolkien's treasure-loving dragons in The Hobbit and Farmer Giles of Ham, as well as his creation of malice and terror, Glaurung of The Silmarillion.
Throughout his life, Tolkien was drawn to the challenge of creating an imagined world and mythology. In the 1920s, while he was busy with his teaching career, he was also playfully creating "fairy-stories" to entertain his children. It was for them that The Hobbit evolved, episode by episode. When they grew out of listening to stories, Tolkien's motivation to create them stopped, and so did Bilbo's quest. It was not until 1937 that Tolkien completed the novel. The overwhelming popularity of The Hobbit led his publisher to request another book about hobbits. Tolkien began a sequel almost immediately, but The Fellowship of the Ring, the first part of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, did not see print until 1954, 17 years after he had written the first chapter.
The world of Middle Earth came to full form in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but its underlying mythology continued to grow throughout Tolkien's life. After his retirement from Oxford in 1959 he concentrated on preparing for publication manuscripts that went back as far as his schoolboy song about Earendil (1914). Up until his death on September 2, 1973, he was still revising—and re-revising—the manuscripts, which were finally edited and published by his son Christopher in The Silmarillion (1977). Tolkien's own absorption in these myths is reflected by the inscriptions on his and his wife's gravestones: "Beren" and "Luthien", the names of the human-elven couple from whom the great lines of Middle Earth descend.
II OVERVIEW
In The Lord of the Rings Tolkien demonstrates the evolution of a literary world. In The Hobbit, often considered a prologue to the trilogy, he created a kind of being with no parallel in literature; in the trilogy he expands his single hobbit hero into four hobbit companions and an assortment of helpers and enemies. The character of Bilbo from The Hobbit returns in The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume of the trilogy. The central adventure of the trilogy spans three volumes, each divided into two books. Each of the six books builds to its own climactic ending, but an intricate system of interlacing allows the reader to move easily with the characters as the author fills in more details about the geography of Middle Earth, the history of its inhabitants, and the progress of the quest.
The expansive background against which the central action takes place conveys a sense of the universality of the conflict between good and evil. In this world everyone needs the support of others in overcoming obstacles and in doing good. Many of the background sections treat the nature of evil as a distortion of what could have been good. Basic to the history of the One Ring is the thirst for power of its creator, Sauron. In the central volume of the trilogy, The Two Towers, the desire for the power inherent in the Ring has also corrupted the wizard Saruman. Tolkien's analysis of the corrupting nature of power explains why three of his strongest forces for good—Gandalf, Galadriel, and Aragorn—refuse to take the Ring and why Bilbo is unable to resist its control. As the story develops, one major source of Bilbo’s nephew Frodo's internal conflict lies in the pull of the ring itself. The success of Frodo's quest flows from mercy, friendship, enrance, and the courage to risk life and happiness for the good of others.
III SETTING
Physically Middle Earth resembles modern Earth. It is the inhabitants that add the touch of unreality that a reader expects in what Tolkien calls a "secondary" world. In making a world for his hobbits, elves, wizards, dwarves, ents, orcs, ringwraiths, and other unusual beings, Tolkien assumes the creative rights that he says in his essay "On Fairy-stories" belong to the storyteller: the right to be free with nature; to use the world as a basis to make something new, while giving this new world its principles of inner consistency. Much of the mythology and history of Middle Earth comes through songs that pervade the narrative, but a more organized "history", complete with dates for the four ages of Middle Earth and genealogies of major families of elves, dwarves, hobbits, and human beings, is included as an appendix to the third volume.
IV THEMES AND CHARACTERS
The enring conflict between good and evil is the underlying theme of the trilogy, but Tolkien develops other themes in connection with it. He explores the positive and negative sides of power, the nature of heroism, and the role of friendship. To Frodo Baggins, favourite nephew of the ring-finder Bilbo Baggins, is entrusted the task of saving Middle Earth from the control of the master of evil, Sauron. Frodo's task reverses the basic quest pattern: instead of finding a treasure, Frodo is sent to destroy what Sauron values above all—the One Ring. Sauron has poured much of his power into the One Ring to strengthen his control over the 19 Rings of Power. Of these 19 rings, only the Three made by the elves for themselves have never been touched by Sauron and his evil. The Seven, originally distributed to dwarf leaders, have been destroyed and do not affect events in the trilogy. The major concentration of evil confronted by Frodo comes from the Ringwraiths, or Nazgul, who are men enslaved by Sauron through the Nine Rings.
Sauron, having learned from Gollum the whereabouts of the One Ring, sends the Nazgul to recover it. Since the defeat in which the Ring was cut from his hand, Sauron himself can no longer assume a physical form. He can, however, act through those who have submitted their minds and wills to his service. The nature of the Rings of Power and of the Ringwraiths is made clear to Frodo before he accepts responsibility for destroying the Ring. The wizard Gandalf and Elrond, great leader of the elves of Middle Earth, determine who will accompany Frodo on his quest. To match the number of Nazgul, they include nine indivials in the Fellowship of the Ring, representing the people of Middle Earth: four hobbits (Frodo, his servant Sam, and two young friends, Pippin and Merry); the elf Legolas; the dwarf Gimli; two men, Aragorn and Boromir; and Gandalf himself.
The fellows all demonstrate some aspect of heroism. Gandalf has an aura of supernatural power. He risks his life and his power when he is pitted against other supernatural forces: his fellow wizard Saruman, turned evil by desire for the Ring; the Balrog of Moria, who leads him to at least a symbolic death; and the Lord of the Nazgul, who is reinforced by the great strength of Sauron. Gandalf’s heroism is beyond human imitation.
Human heroes abound in the trilogy: Aragorn, Boromir, his brother Faramir, the aged Theoden, Eowyn and Eomer (Theoden's niece and nephew), and the many warriors of Rohan and Gondor. Boromir at one point yields to the power of the Ring, trying to take it from Frodo, but he recognizes his weakness almost immediately and dies defending the younger hobbits, Pippin and Merry. Aragorn, descended from two great marriages of elves and mortals, has a grace and power beyond that of mere human leaders. With this heritage he seems like one of the great epic heroes of the past, just as Tolkien's trilogy itself at times echoes the heroic epic world. Aragorn plans, leads, encourages, and heals; he is always ready to risk his life for the salvation of others. When the royal line of the great kings of the West is "returned" to power by him, the free peoples of Middle Earth can again find justice and the age of men can begin.
The most "human" heroes are the four hobbits. Although at first they do not fully understand the dangers of the quest, their commitment grows in proportion to their knowledge of the nature of their enemies. Frodo undergoes the greatest test because the forces of Sauron concentrate their attacks on him. He is also tested by the Ring, by Gollum whom a lesser hero might have killed for his own safety, and by physical strain. Although Frodo at the last moment yields to the evil pull of the ring, he is saved by his own virtue: the pity that had spared Gollum. Frodo carries a sword, but he rarely uses it, except when he futilely strikes at the Lord of Nazgul; his heroism lies more in enrance than in battle.
Sam, like his master, enres, but he is called to fight against Gollum, Shelob, and the orcs. He delights in hearing the orcs misidentify him as a great elven warrior. Sam's major role in the trilogy is that of loyal friend. However, he is also the voice of normality, longing for the beauty of home, his family and friends in the Shire, his garden, and his pots and pans. Like Sam, Pippin and Merry exemplify friendship and heroism on a more attainable level. They are too small to fight the orcs who capture them, but they outwit them and travel with Fangorn and the ents to overcome Saruman. Back in the Shire after the destruction of the ring, Sam, Pippin, and Merry all share in the battle against more "normal" enemies: mere men.
Neither Elrond nor Galadriel participate in the quest, but they do contribute to its outcome. Elrond's power rescues Frodo from the Nazgul attack and his wound; and it is at Elrond's home that the fellowship is formed. Galadriel's gifts, especially Frodo's phial of light and the seeds of new life in Sam's box, symbolize the life-giving nature of the elves. When Galadriel later tells Frodo that the destruction of the One Ring will probably destroy the power of the Three Rings, it becomes clear how much the elves are sacrificing for the success of the quest. The 19 Rings of Power made by the elves of old had originally been formed as objects of goodness and beauty; it was Sauron who turned the rings he touched into sources of evil. Tolkien demonstrates how goodness can be perverted into evil, but he also shows that evil in turn can be overcome.
In his preface to the trilogy, Tolkien distinguishes between allegory and the applicability of works of literature to life. While he disclaims having imposed any allegorical significance on his story, he asserts the right of readers to apply the meaning of the story to their own lives as they see fit. In light of this disclaimer, it seems contrary to Tolkien’s intention to interpret The Lord of the Rings as political or social allegory, as some critics have done. On the other hand, readers of all generations can apply to their own age some of the overall principles embodied in the trilogy. The fact, for example, that elves, dwarves, hobbits, and human beings can set aside major differences to work together for the welfare of Middle Earth can be extended to a hope that modern human races can set aside their differences, no more deeply embedded than the distrust between dwarves and elves.
Many battles take place in Middle Earth—often violent and bloody ones. The heroes fight bravely, sometimes against terrible odds, but the "good" characters do not rejoice in fighting, except perhaps when Fangorn and the ents delight in overthrowing the tree destroyers, Saruman and his orcs, or when Legolas and Gimli compete over the number of orcs slain. Before the Battle of Bywater, after the return to the Shire, Frodo directs his companions to avoid killing their enemies if possible. Even Saruman would have been spared if his own cruelty had not provoked the enslaved Grima to turn against him.
Evil is readily recognizable by its ugliness and by its fruits. Goodness is equally recognizable and its fruits are more lasting. The author does not preach, but his good characters exemplify in action the virtues of mercy, perseverance, generosity, and friendship. Sauron, Saruman, and the Ringwraiths all embody the vices of hatred, greed, and the thirst for power. The influence of Sauron on those who once were normal men demonstrates the pervasiveness of evil, as does the ugliness of Sauron's land, Mordor. While the destruction of Sauron and the Ringwraiths suggests that evil can be overcome, it does not imply that the destruction of a major source of evil eliminates all evil. The Southrons continue to fight after Sauron's power has collapsed, Saruman's petty destroyers of good continue their work in the Shire, and Aragorn finds it necessary to establish guardians for his borders. Middle Earth after Sauron is no utopia, but it is a world very much like ours, one worth cultivating to bring forth beauty and goodness. In Gondor and in the Shire hope lives on.

⑧ 指环王英文影评
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings is a movie for our times. If we look past the stunning visual effects, lush scenery, and spectacular action sequences, and listen to the wisdom of Gandalf and Galadriel we hear the quiet whisper of the true meaning of the film- heroism. The message of this film is that true heroes are not the great and powerful, but the everyday person placed unexpectedly into trying circumstances. What a message at this time in our country's history. On September 11th we saw normal, everyday peoples lives changed suddenly, unexpectedly. They were forced to be heroes, to work to save not only their own lives, but the lives of others too. As Gandalf says, we do not choose what times we live in, but we choose what we do with the time we have.
Remember this theme and focus on Frodo's trials and perserverance whenever you watch this movie. Remember the loyalty and friendship of Sam. That is what this movie is truly about.
Peter Jackson has created a visually stunning film, filled with action, yet rich with meaning. He has for the most part stayed true to the themes and sequences in the books. While he has changed some characters and scenes, those changes do not significantly alter the plot and in some instances actually improve it.
Though the movie is played out on a grand scale, the film is really about a story of one little hobbit, Frodo, and his unexpected challenge of having to be a hero.
The score by Howard Shore is superb, quite worthy of the Oscar it received. The score is destined to become a classic.
The cinematography is also superb, also definitely worthy of its Oscar.
My one criticism, is that Saruman is given more time on screen than in the books. I felt he should be more so behind the scenes as he was in the books. The more sinister evil is the evil that cannot be seen. Though Christopher Lee, as always, is superb.
The rest of the cast is also superb, especially Ian McKellen as Gandalf and Elijah Wood as Frodo. Kate Blanchett and Liv Tyler are also excellent in their roles, bringing a strong female presence.

I thought The Lord of the Rings was a great movie. I thought the filmmakers made excellent use of the medium, so it was easy to excuse the deviations from the book. I thought the movie's approach really complemented the book and thought Elijah Wood's portrayal of Frodo was severely underrated.I really love The Lord of the Rings.
OK?

The reason why this first part of Jackson's 'Lord of the Rings' is superior to his latter two parts is because of restraint. Jackson was restrained from over doing it with the CGI and "epic" battle sequences, which in my opinion does not make a story epic. Part of the reason was simply because Tolkien did not have very many battles in the first part of his book, which thankfully forced Jackson to focus on creating a believable world rather than a believable hack-n-slash action movie.
I don't find much entertainment in watching people mutilate each other, but I love it when a movie engages me in a world, and 'The Fellowship of the Ring' does just that. Certainly the most breathtaking scenes in the movie are the moments of patient observation, when the camera pans around and captures the beautiful settings of Middle Earth. I must give Jackson credit. He did hire some very extraordinary artists that have envisioned one of the grandest interpretations of Tolkien's world.
There are about five particular moments that stick out in my mind and gave me that tingle of goosebumps down my spine when I saw them for the first time. The first is the introction to Hobbiton. After the somewhat awkward prologue, I was beginning to have my doubts to whether the movie would live up to the book. But the movie surprised me. Hobbiton is perfect. The houses have flower patches and old fences, the roads look worn and made through decades of travel, and the Old Mill spins with the laziness of a quiet town. Every color is vibrant and every moment looks as through it was taken out of a picture book. Although I still don't agree with the particular look of the Hobbits, I believe everything else in Hobbiton is worthy of Tolkien's words.
The second moment comes after Frodo's awakening in Rivendell, and the third, ring the exploration of the Halls of Moria. In both moments, the camera pans away from the characters and outward into a static shot of their surroundings. The moments make us feel like we're turning our heads and gazing at the world around us just as the characters do. The golden waterfalls of the elven city mark an interesting contrast with the dark halls of the dwarfish mines, but each are inspiring in their own ways and add to feeling of being engaged in a living world.
My other favorite moments come ring the exploration of Lothlorien and the passage down the Anin. And while I won't go into detail about the scenes, since they really should be experienced without any prior expectations, they are monuments in imaginative cinema. 'The Fellowship of the Ring' is one of those rare movies that I always wish I could reexperience for the first time. Unfortunately, Jackson turned away from exploring Middle Earth in his next two movies, and instead, turned to fighting and warfare. He seems to take a lot of pride in the love story and battle sequences he created in 'The Two Towers' and 'The Return of the King,' but it is was in his first movie when he really got it right. In 'The Fellowship of the Ring,' it's okay if the characters are uninteresting and have silly dialogue. Middle Earth is the star, and the characters are the ones seeing it for the first time.
We have been waiting an entire year for this one!!! The Two Towers picks up right where last years Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring leaves off. The director, Peter Jackson, did not include a recap of the last movie, so if you don't remember what happened in the first movie you better rent it and refresh your memory before you head off to the theater.
When we last left our fellowship, it had splintered apart. Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) and Sam Gamgee (Sean Astin) continue there quest to return the all powerful and evil ring to Mordor where it can be destroyed. They take on the creature Gollum (Andy Serkis) as their guide to Mordor despite Gollum's obsession with getting `his precious' back. Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) begin by trying to find the kidnapped Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd), but end up getting caught up in a battle to save a race of humans. The evil wizard Saruman (Christopher Lee), controlled by Dark Lord Sauron created a grand Uruk-hai army that is sent to destroy the race of Humans at the fortress Isengard. The presumed dead Gandolf (Ian McKellen) also returns to lend his assistance in battling Lord Sauron's troops.
This film was better paced than the first in the trilogy. There were still some breaks in the action that were a little ll, but the dialog was necessary to further the story. With three separate stories going on simultaneously between the three groups of the splintered fellowship, the film kept the action moving quickly. Clocking in at 179 minutes, it is just one minute longer than the first film. This time, I didn't mind the length. The battle for Isengard comprised about a third of the film, and it was very intense.
The rest of the film had a lot of the same excellent cinematic shots as the first movie. The shots tracking the actors from above (done by helicopter) with the beautiful New Zealand mountains and countryside in the background were just amazing. The landscapes helped to keep me involved with the story when the action slowed for dialog intensive scenes.
The creature Gollum played a very key roll in this movie, and the computer-generated character was very lifelike and amusing. He reminded me of Dobby the `house elf' in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Gollum and the Dwarf were the two main comic relief characters in this very serious film.
To conclude, we had to wait a year for this film, and it lived up to expectations! A final reminder…this is the middle film in the trilogy so you can expect another ending that leaves you wanting more! Not to worry though, the third and final film is e out next Christmas.
This is the final movie in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and certainly doesn't disappoint like some other trilogies *coughMatrixcough*. The three films had their principal shooting all done at the same time, which lowers their overall costs and keeps a good sense of continuity for the films.
The special effects, first of all, are excellent. While there's a few little things (a reversed shot with smoke flowing back into chimneys and occasional lighting that's a bit off), by and large they're excellent. The most impressive thing about them is the sheer scale. This isn't a small or simple scene; it often includes thousands of digital characters combined with filmed actors and action, sweeping landscapes, and dozens of things happening at once. This is a good reason to see it in theatres; even on DVD, there's little details that you can only catch when it's on a massive screen.
The filming is good, although there are a few evidences of digital smoothing and cutting that can nag at the mind and eyes of a picky movie-goer. There are a few interesting shots, but most are fairly plain and straight on, getting the point across without being dazzling. New Zealand's landscapes provide a great backdrop for everything going on, and there really are some beautiful places, especially up in the mountains. I hear land prices are quite good, what with the orcs warring and everything, so you may want to look into real estate purchases now.
Sound has been said to make 75% of the emotional impact of any proction. This is a loud 75%. All the sound effects are very well pulled off, sound appropriate, and are generally loud. The Nazgul screeching was bordering on painful, but in a good way. Most everything has a distinct sound, and it's rare that anything feels out of place. In some of the battles, the roof of the theatre was shaking. The soundtrack fits the movie well, and Howard Shore has done an excellent job, as with the last two films in the series.
Performances all around were good, but Sean Astin as Sam and Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn really dominated the film. They performed their roles perfectly, and came away giving a good picture of the characters. Elijah Wood seemed to be stuck with the same terrified expression on his face through most of the movie, almost Max Payne-style, and it grew old quickly. Ian McKellen, the ever-wise white wizard, had a fair bit of dialogue which he delivered well; my only complaint is he had too much in the way of wistful sayings leading to scene changes. Orlando Bloom, favorite of young teenage girls everywhere, had a few more action sequences (which got cheers from the aforementioned girls) which were quite well pulled off, but his acting wasn't much tested by this film. John Rhys-Davies continued with Gimli's joking performance; he's really too amusing to take seriously, but does a good job at it.
For the old Tolkien fans, this movie stays quite close to the book, although they did have to omit some portions, most notably the taking and retaking of the Shire and the time spent in the Halls of Healing in Minas Tirith. Hopefully some of this will show up in the Extended Edition on DVD. Shelob's attack was left until this film, and much of the time spent in Mordor was shortened for the sake of pacing, and it was a good decision.
My favorite scene would have to be the battle at Minas Tirith. The incredible scope of the battle, with the special effects, sounds, and many close-ups of pieces of the action, make for an exciting scene. The visual effects especially are stunning; the 'oliphaunts' play a big part in the action, and they're entirely created by computer. There's also some wide shots with tens of thousands of digital characters marching on the field of battle, and even the indivial actions have the masses warring as a backdrop. It's worth your movie-going dollar simply to watch this on a large screen. It was also intermingled with some smaller events inside Minas Tirith, so it's not pure battle for the whole of the scene, and it keeps it from being dreary or heavy-handed.
Overall, this is a movie well worth watching, and even paying to see in a theatre. I'd recommend against bringing small children, as there are some scary images, and they'd also be a distraction ring the final movie in what will probably remain the series of the decade. Not a particularly great date movie, either...this is a real, bring-your-friends big movie. Five out of five decapitated orcs (and trust me, there were a lot more than that).
