The first part of Peter Jackson's trilogy is primarily a journey. The film does not rush: it keeps the viewer in the green sleepy Shire for a long time, amidst feasts and fireworks, only to then abruptly pull the hero into a world that is not kind to him at all. The hobbit Frodo inherits a ring, which turns out to be an object with its own will, and together with a diverse group, he heads south — simply because there is no one else to go with. It is here that Jackson invests his main efforts to make Middle-earth convincing: New Zealand's nature, miniatures, handcrafted armor, and maps that can be navigated. And only in this part does the group exist as a group — the film ends right where it falls apart. 'The Fellowship of the Ring' is remembered for proving that great literary fantasy can be taken seriously, without embarrassment and without discounting the genre.
