GREAT STORY! MUCH BETTER THAN I THOUGHT!

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2001)

First of all, let me say that I had never read the books before seeing this movie, and that did not detract from the greatness of the film. Anyone who criticizes this movie could not be farther from the truth. Some say that there is no character development?? What the hell is wrong with them?! You watch Frodo go from a Shire-hobbit to the bearer of the most powerful thing in the world.
I think the best part of this movie is the plot. What a genius Tolkien is! The story is the pinnacle of greatness. Anyone who got bored during this movie must have been dead during the film. The effects, although "fake" at times, are overall great. They do NOT take away from the essence of the movie. It is extremely well written, and well acted. The scenery will blow you away! I can't wait until the next one!!
My Ratings (out of 10):
Acting - 9 Writing - 10 Effects - 9 Plot - 10 Scenery - 10 Dialouge - 10
OVERALL - 10
I give this movie a 10/10, ****, four stars, whatever the best is! Although it may not be as good as the Godfather or The Shawshank Redemption, it well deserves to be in the top 10!
