| The Hollywood OutsiderAaron PetersonBudget or not, there are several very clever and innovative shots in the film that I personally found impressive for first-time feature director Ron Newcomb. |

| User ReviewJoAnn AFor everyone who was ever a put upon high school nerd, and who still remembers those days, this is the film for you. Funny, sweet and something you can watch with the whole family and not feel embarrassed to let your kids or parents see! It is also a great homage to the Lord of the Rings films, with beautiful cinematography and a great score to tie it all together. |
| User ReviewCarl FOh yeah! This was freaking epic! Lord of the Rings Online in a movie! Finally! This was a very good comedy film about 4 friends trying to win a "Lord of the Rings Online gaming competition" and on the trip to the convention they run into a series of events similiar to the ones described in the books and the movies. It was very interesting to watch, and I would really like to see more movies like this! |
| User ReviewJustin WA very well-conceived, well-played, clever idea for a film. It's like a Fanboys movie for fans of Lord of the Rings, online gaming, and best of all: it's family-friendly! Packed with fun characters, witty and clever parallels to the Peter Jackson films, and an overall concept that both acknowledges and honors the fandom of gaming, Rise of the Fellowship is a movie for geeks by geeks! |
