Just a thought

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2001)

Someone complained that this film shouldn't be #1 in the top 250 of all time, which I agree with. But I think the reason is probably the broad appeal of this particular story has made people so intrigued, that many who have never voted before have signed up for imdb just to voice their opinion on LOTR, which obviously says something for the quality of the film. So, while to some it may not be the "greatest movie of all time," I don't know too many people who can claim to have ONE favorite movie. I give it a 10. I'm not saying it's perfect, because of some of the changes they made to the books, but what movie is? And I'm actually kind of thankful they left some things from the book out (I don't think I could've stomached the Tom Bombadil encounter adapted to film). But overall, yet another one of MY personal favorites of all time (though, I must admit, I'm a huge fan of the novels)
