The extended version of Peter Jackson's first entry of his Oscar-winning fantasy adventure trilogy, an adaptation of JRR Tolkien's epic novel. Stars Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Orlando Bloom, Christopher Lee, Ian Holm, Cate Blanchett, Liv Tyler, Hugo Weaving and Viggo Mortensen.
Peter Jackson, the New Zealand director who masterminded this film (and two more to follow, in a $300 million undertaking), has made a work for, and of, our times. It will be embraced, I suspect, by many Tolkien fans and take on aspects of a cult.
