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.

Rated: 6/10

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!

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!
