After a nervous wait, The Fellowship of the Ring proved that the army assembled in New Zealand did in fact know what they were doing, delivering a smash hit that not only resonated with the general movie going public keen to delve into a make believe world far from the horror of 9/11 a few short months previously, but also with the legions of literary fans whom were no doubt waiting to board flights with pitchforks in hand.

Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) continues his journey to Mount Doom with his trusted companion Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin), separated from the fellowship whom were entrusted with Frodo’s safety and reeling from the death of his friend Gandalf. The journey becomes all the more difficult with the revealing of the treacherous Gollum (Andy Serkis), a previous owner of the Ring; deformed physically and mentally by its power. The Ring also continues to become a psychological burden for the hero.
