Awe inspiring so good words alone can`t do it justice!

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2001)

Sitting down to watch this film I was expecting a great film to end 3 hours later. However when the end credits rolled up and I got up to leave I was completely amazed that I had just watched the most awe inspiring film ever.
Words alone can not do this film justice. What Peter Jackson and his partner Fran Walsh have created would do J.R. Tolkien proud. Never has a screenplay been written so skillfully and with such dedication to a book. Art direction, production, cinematography are all 1st class. Acting is of the highest calibre from the entire cast which couldn`t have been chosen better.
I`m completely bewildered by the sheer scale of the thing. So much so I`ve been trying to think of a bad point about the film but there isn`t one because it really is that good!
I`ll be the first to say it now, Is he mad to make us wait until next Cristmas for part two and Christmas 2003 for part 3! I would have been quite prepared to sit for another 6 hours and watched all 3 parts together.
Do yourself a favour, even if you arn`t a fan of science fiction, go see this film.
Breathtaking.........
