About this movie

In the first part of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, a shy young hobbit named Frodo Baggins inherits a simple gold ring. He knows the ring has power, but not that he alone holds the secret to the survival--or enslavement--of the entire world. Now Frodo, accompanied by a wizard, an elf, a dwarf, two men and three loyal hobbit friends, must become the greatest hero the world has ever known to save the land and the people he loves.

Don't get me wrong. The movie in itself is very well-done and entertaining. I mean, it's no Hobbit or anything, but it's fun, action-packed, and entertaining, and probably everyone can have fun or relate to it somehow. However, at over 3 hrs. long, the long running time keeps me from fully enjoying it. I saw the Extended Edition and I'm sure if I had seen the Theatrical version I would have liked it more, but it was so long that after a while I began to lose interest. I was entertained, yes, but I just got tired of it after a while. It's a good movie, but would have been great if shorter.

Love the movie, but unlike the other movies ive purchased through google I cant stream this in HD anymore. There doesn't seem to be any work around regarding this. I wouldn't buy this version if you plan on watching it through this service. I wish they would allow me a refund for this.

The perfect movie! Have it downloaded on my samsung tablet, however for some reason for about thirty seconds or less, every once in a while the video will lag/skip as if it were a CD. Strange, but none the less, still fantastic. This version is the way to go without a doubt!
