Unbelievably Great!

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

This movie brought me to tears and it wasn't at the end where they might be expected. It was in the very beginning when they were in the Shire. It was so beautiful and so "right"... all through the movie I was nodding to myself as scene after scene played out as I imagined them... even more real then in my head. Maybe it was helped along by a sense of nostalgia since I haven't read the books in almost 25 years, but at that time I read them over 7 times and as a teenager I had my walls plastered with previous years calendar pictures... let's just say that I was a big fan of the books.
But the movie only added to all this... made it better and more real. I will watch this again when my 19 year old son comes home for Christmas, I am sure that he will have seen it at least once by then as well. Great movie. Touched me deeply. See it, even if you haven't read the books. It is amazing.
