New Zealanders do good.

Rating: Null/10 (8 August 2002)

Of course I was impressed with the film when I saw it in the theater. Anyone who wasn't is probably lying or knows nothing about filmmaking (I'm not trying to be cruel here, but layer for layer and pound for pound this is one incredible undertaking). After watching the Fellowship of the Ring on the big screen and after scrutinizing it on DVD for the better part of the summer (bootlegged) I just recently took a gander at the legitimate DVD release. I spent most of my time watching this film playing the How'd They Do That Game. The first few times I just absorbed it. Then I got to work looking for zippers and wires and I found very few. I was and still am and always will be amazed at the work that went into making this film. Special effects aside, the love that the filmmakers had to have for the material is nothing short of miraculous. I don't want to flog a dead horse and I honestly can't praise this film's efforts enough but the more I learn about the process involved in getting this onto the screen the more I love it. That's all I can say. Really incredible. Read up on it, you won't be disappointed.
