Here's a detailed refresher on what “The Fellowship of the Ring” is all about and why you need to stream it on Prime Video right now

Given how well-known and popular the film is, most people probably don't need me to explain what it's about, but for those who need a refresher (or have somehow not seen it), here's a quick overview

“The Lord of the Rings”: Set in the fictional world of Middle-earth, “The Fellowship of the Ring” is about a dark lord named Sauron who seeks to rule the land by retrieving the One Ring, a powerful and evil object he created long ago However, the ring is lost for centuries and eventually falls into the hands of a young hobbit named Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood)

Unaware of the ring's true nature, Frodo is led by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), who tells him that the ring must be destroyed to prevent Sauron's return The only way to destroy the ring is to cast it into the fires of Mount Doom, deep within Sauron's territory of Mordor

I still remember the first time I saw “The Lord of the Rings”: I still remember the first time I saw “The Lord of the Rings” as a child It was winter and I was cowering under a blanket on the couch (my father wanted to introduce me) But to my surprise, I was transported into a world of spectacular scenery, fantastic creatures, and a story so grand that I felt like I was experiencing something truly special, even at a very young age This experience is what makes this movie, and the entire franchise, so beloved by millions of people around the world

As I rewatched the trilogy over the years, it became clear why “The Lord of the Rings” has remained so beloved and popular for so long It is not just the breathtaking visuals or the epic battles It is the emphasis on friendship, courage, and the struggle between good and evil that makes it resonate with people from all walks of life

Moreover, for fans of the original story, they can see the love and care that was poured into bringing Middle-earth to life, and for newcomers (like myself a few years ago), they quickly came to appreciate this impressive filmmaking

Needless to say, the film has an impressive score of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 95% viewer rating; Empire magazine's Colin Kennedy says: Surpassing formulaic blockbusters, “Fellowship” is impeccably It is impeccably cast and carefully and passionately constructed Meanwhile, Rolling Stone's Peter Travers says the film is “an epic, authentic, eye-poppingly layered with thrills and fun, yet intimately connected to its characters”

Audiences also continue to praise the masterpiece, with some saying they appreciate “the overall masterful portrayal of one of the greatest works of fiction of all time”

Whether you are revisiting Middle-earth or experiencing it for the first time, there is no better time to dive into this epic saga than now, when season two of the series “The Ring of Power” is available on Prime Video I may even watch the film again myself to experience one of the most beloved and influential fantasy stories ever told
