the best fantasy since the original STAR WARS

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2001)

Having not read the book & expecting a good film.
I was completely surprised at how much I was captivated by the superbly acted, written & directed film. The entire productions MUST be nominated for every concievable award. for 21/2 hours my eyes were glued to the screen, BTW I am a senior citizen, This is a perfect film for the entire family, A special note on the effects, They were not OVERDONE, like in some films.
