An Absolute Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2014)

This film has Elves, Orcs & Dwarfs... & many other creatures.
I just had to get that out of the way because movies like these cater to a very specific taste... & that is Fantasy. You either watch Fantasy films or you don't.
This movie, directed by Peter Jackson & adapted from the legendary books by J.R.R Tolkien is done absolutely brilliantly.
If you're unfamiliar with J.R.R Tolkien, he is the author of the classic Fantasy novels- The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit- both of which have been made into grand epic movies & all of them directed by Peter Jackson.
It's great that stories like these are given to Directors who really really love their craft & can get into the thick of creating a tale of this magnitude that they literally start resembling some of the key characters (Peter Jackson eventually looked like a Hobbit after Production )
The entire Lord of the Rings trilogy & The Hobbit trilogy is amazing & watching it gives you an appreciation of the dedication & commitment involved in bringing something like this to Life. These movies will go down in History as true Epic Fantasy masterpieces that will delight viewers for all time.
