What a Nostalgic Feeling Watching this Movie.

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2012)

I was a big fan of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, it felt like it had been so long since I had experienced a movie like the series.
While the story line is different, the general feeling of the film while watching it really brought me back to the first time I ever watched Lord of the Rings in theater. There is all you can ask for; Golem, Orcs, Goblins, Dwarfs, Elves, and even Gandolf.
The casting is incredible, I am so glad they stuck with as many LotR characters as possible. Peter Jackson did a great job of putting characters in their roles.
Upon entering the theater I did not really expect a action packed film, but was I wrong! Once the movie gets rolling it almost seems like you are part of the adventure, like you want to jump in the movie. It really does look fun albeit dangerous.
What really surprised me were the phenomenal graphics throughout the movie. There is no doubt this movie was carefully made with the best in the profession of CGI.
Overall, the movie was awesome and I would recommend it to anyone with a good taste of action and adventure. The only reason I do not give this movie a ten is because I have to wait a year to see the second installment. Which I knew I would have to do prior to viewing it.
