Film Review of Lord of the Rings In the film the “Lord Of The Rings”, there is a great evil called Sauron. The whole film is based on the theme of good Vs evil. The opening scene is about these rings being forged and given too different types of people like, elves, dwarfs and humans. From here you can tell that this film is not natural, you can tell that this is a fantasy film. The film revolves around Sauron and his evil army that, try and get the ring from Frodo. Sauron created the one ring to rule them all, all of his evil and cruelty was endowed in the ring. Once he wears the ring he becomes invincible and is immune to human attacks. There was a great battle for middlearth and at the time it looked like the evil force is wining, until Islidor, son of the king, cut off Saurons finger with the ring witch destroyed him and his followers. Thousands of years past and the ring found itself in the hands of Bilbo Bagins, eldest member of the Bagins family. Bilbo has a nephew called Frodo Bagins; Frodo inherits the ring not knowing the evil powers and cruelty that was endowed in the ring. Gandolf the grey is a kind wizard and close friend of Frodo. Gandolf investigates the ring and finds out that it is the same ring that Sauron created. To summarise the rest of the story, Frodo and Sam-wise take the ring on a long journey to destroy it at MT.Doom in Mordor, but there travels will not be that easy. The evil army of Saroun has regrouped and is ... ... middle of paper ... ... so that initially we, the audience, think that he is evil and no friend of the hobbits, but in actual fact he is good and helps the hobbits. The glimpse of light in his eyes also creates mystery because the audience asks themselves why would evil have bright white eyes. Special effects have been used to enhance the view. The staff of Gandolf fires bright blue balls. This represents the fantasy genre because there is lots of spells and magic in fantasy’s, also the colour blue is shown as good. In my own opinion I think this film is great. I think this because it has lots of adventure and battles. This appeals to modern day audiences because of its realism to lots of fantasy books. The wide range of characters and areas, brilliant camera angles and costumes, great use of music makes this film a must see movie.
