Budget 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. Go to Full Review

04/10/2016 Loved it. Great humor and a great story! See more 04/06/2016 A good, clean family movie for your adolescent kids. See more 08/05/2015 This movie had more plot holes than any movie i have ever seen. If its nota plot hole its beyond unrealistic. At one point a student plants pot in the main characters locker. So far it doesn't sound too over the top, but he plants over half an ounce! Its just something they could have easily changed. I mean really he planted like $180 worth of weed! Seriously a gram or two would have made sense. Then of course there's no problems with the cops even though he would be behind bars for at least a day. The countless plot holes just made the movie hard to watch. The few stars i gave to this movie were for the creativeness of the story as a whole. With a few changes this movie would have been great! See more 02/20/2015 A 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!

Extremly lighthearted, which makes for, easy viewing. See more 03/10/2014 very cute and ties in with the movie very well. I am an rpg player and found this fun to watch. See more Read all reviews
