Absoluetly Fantastic!!!

Rating: Null/10 (18 February 2002)

When I saw Lord of the Rings, it was the first time I had been to the cinema since November 2000 when I saw Little Nicky. Although I enjoyed it and thought it didn't deserve the treatment it had received, it does not even compare to this wonderful epic! I haven't read the book so I don't know how different it is from that.
There is no point of me explaining the plot so I'll just say how good it is. I've noticed this film is even similiar to Star Wars! Gandalf's demise and extreme emotion from Frodo echoes Obi-Wan's demise and Luke's unhappiness from Star Wars. Also, both Alec Guiness and Ian McKellen have received oscar nominations. LOTR has received 13 nominations. I hope it wins them all.
The only negative point is the ending. Although I know it is a long saga split into 3 films, I was hoping for a better ending. I'm not saying the ending was bad or anything but it was a bit of a dull way to end it. Throughout it's 3 hour length, the film has enough endings for 6 films!!

If you have not seen this film, then I advise to see it at once! This is one of the best films I've seen in a long time and is a promising start to what looks like being one of the best movie trilogys of all time.
