Pippin: Are we lost?


Merry: No.


Pippin: I think we are.


Merry: Shh. Gandalf's thinkin'.


Pippin: Merry?


Merry: What?


Pippin: I'm hungry.


An epic tale of adventure and sacrifice begins. At first we are told about the one ring (voiced by Alan Howard) which gives power to the dark lord Sauran (Sala a Baker) to terrorize elves, humans and dwarves. After many deaths and wars the ring is lost until a hobbit by the name of Bilbo Baggins (Ian Holm) who takes it to the shire, a merry hobbit village were the happy-go-lucky hobbits such as Everard Proudfoot (Noel Appleby) live in harmony. But Sauran has returned and the ring is luring his forces to itself. Gandalf The Grey ( Ian McKellen) who needs the ring destroyed before Sauran can use it again and is good friends with Bilbo and his nephew Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) comes to The Shire to warn them. But Bilbo is too obsessed with The Ring and can't be trusted so young Frodo has to go on an adventure to destroy the one ring. While Gandalf is talking strategy with Frodo, Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin) is over hearing their conversation. Gandalf takes him in and as punishment he has to guard Frodo during his journey. They're going on an adventure!

Now I was suggested by a friend to watch this glorious movie and I enjoyed every second of it. There literally no filler in this movie (I don't mind fillers in movies but I appreciate it when a movie leaves filler scenes and thrusts that much story into it). The acting is outstanding, and although I hated Samwise's character a rid bit at the beginning he kind of grew on me. I give this movie 10 huzzahs.
