Great, Great, Great!

Rating: Null/10 (19 December 2001)

I have never been much of a person that liked the world of elves, dwarves, orcs or wizards, but this movie sure changed my mind. The only time I've seen these sorts of things, was from Warcraft (video game by Blizard Entertainment) and although I liked the game, I never really got into the whole thing behind it. I had many friends online that were into elves and fairy tale type things, and I just didn't understand. Now I am one of them. This movie couldn't have been better than my mind would have let it. When it started out, everything was dark, and we were forced to listen, but we were treated to a back story. I'm glad that was there for the people like me who haven't read the novels or anything like that. I DID get to see a video that my friend had, and I enjoyed that, since I didn't really know what was going on. It was interesting hearing them talk about things that happened in the video I saw. I was hooked to every part of the movie, and I couldn't look away. There could have been a fire right behind me, and I wouldn't even know, unless they shut the movie off. The only problems I had with the movie is the fact that the theatre screwed up, and when the second reel started, it was upside down and backwards. There was a half-hour delay after that. The only other thing was the sudden ending. I guess they can do that, since there ARE two other movies coming, but I just didn't really see it coming. I'll have to suggest you see this movie, it's really good! I enjoyed seeing all the actors I know in this movie, but I regret not seeing Brad Dourif. I'll have to catch him the second time around.
