‘Lord of the Rings’ fever goes Globe-al

Experience the year’s biggest movie on your Globe Handyphone. MyGlobe’s newest offerings are Lord of the Rings games and content.

The Fellowship of the Ring, the first installment to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, is already drawing raves from critic and moviegoers alike and is wholeheartedly embraced by millions of Middle Earth fans worldwide.

Top-billed by Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler, Cate Blanchett and horror veteran Christopher Lee, Fellowship is an amazing adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic. Along with great performances from the cast, the movie boasts of breathtaking camera work. The camera soars to reveal an eerie dark sky, swoops to follow an escape via wings, plunges to show orcs mining the earth for brutal urik hair warriors, and zooms out to let you marvel at the grand landscapes. Still, the movie’s biggest strength is how it feels real and not just a hodgepodge of special effects and fantastic production design. The Dark Lord and his armies are a palpable threat all throughout and the locations, sets and effects are fantastic yet utterly believable.

To begin playing, key on BOM and send to 2324. Journeys of the Fellowship, on the other hand, is choose-your-own adventure single player type. You play Frodo in the first level. You’ll be able to choose to play other characters as you progress to the higher levels. The story follows the plot of the movie the Fellowship of the Rings. To begin playing, key in JF and send to 2324.
