You will never think that they have derailed from the track.

The Fellowship of the Ring starts of with a prologue that sets up the legend of the ring. This is about eight minutes long. The crux of the story is that a ring was forged with the power to destroy the world. This ring passed from Sauron, the dark lord to a hobbit, Frodo Baggins. Frodo was a sweet natured, peace loving, smoking pipeweed, munchkin short, furry foot young fellow who lived in the Shire. He loved to pass his time with his friends Sam, Pippin and Merry. He belonged to the affluent class.

The ring reaches Frodo's hands as part of the inheretance that he gets from his uncle Bilbo Baggings. The ring changes his and the lives of his friends forever. Frodo has to destroy the dark lord and his evil plans. In this quest, he is aided by other characters like Gandol, the white, Aragon, the human warrior, Boromir another human warrior, the elf archer Legolas and Gimli the dwarf who form the fellowship of the ring. Frodo's got to travel to Mordor for the ring was forged there. On his journey, he needs to pass Moria, which is filled with magic, dark riders on dark horses, ghosts, ringwraiths, giant trolls and orcs - rotten teeth and flesh, foul smelling, gigantic, ugly beasts.

The ring along with an invisibility cloak and a sword is that Frodo has got for his protection. Besides Saruman, Frodo is the only other human who carries the ring more than anyone else. Though his health suffers, by the end of the third part, on account of being the ring bearer, he understands his duties and tries to fulfill it with determination. The elf princesses, Arwen, with her delicate unearthly beauty and strange elf tongue adds romance in the movie. All three parts have many exciting battles. You will only find your self sitting on the edge of your seat through out the movie, wondering what's going to happen next.

Gollum is the most interesting character in the film. He contradicts himself constantly. His duel shaded character, the pitiful good side struggling not to be overcome by the revengeful, poisonous bitter side is portrayed well. It is because of Gollum being at the right place, at the right time that Frodo is successful, in going undetected while entering in to Mordor. Gollum leads him in to Mordor through hidden paths and short cuts. Gollum's longing for his 'precious', the ring, ends the story the way it does because in the final moments, even Frodo for a second is overcome by the power of the ring, and wants to keep it for himself.
