A Classic for a New Generation!

Rating: 9/10 (8 December 2005)

I just saw an early screening of this movie with the church that my friend attends, and so I didn't have to pay for my ticket, but after seeing some of the garbage that has come out lately, I sure wish some of that money went to this movie! This film is truly mesmerizing! I went into this film after never reading any of the novels and not expecting much, other than the fact that it was getting some good early reviews and I have to admit, I was totally blown away. This film has great characters that are very enjoyable and easy to root for, and villains that you will hate. It's a grand tale that is placed together so well by the director Andrew Adamson, that I believe an Acadamy Award might not be too far off for him. He reminds me of Peter Jackson in the way that he weaves together this magnificent tale that i won't ruin for anyone here in my review. I recommend this movie to anyone who loves a great story with marvelous special effects and spetactular dialog that is smart and clever. I could watch this movie over and over again and i'll surely go and see this movie again. The best movie by far from this year!
