Have you ever wondered what the best movie ever made would be like?

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2002)

Wow!!!! That's all I can say. This movie so clearly depicted evil and good and made the conflict between them so real, that any viewer can feel the constant tension. The viewer is constantly having to calm himself down, fretting over the characters that are so easy to fall in love with, and the extreme odds that are set against them. This is a fantasy with so much reality....there is NO hope in essence. Everything looks so grim and terrible, and this is portrayed so magnificently that I'm sure even those who have read the books will be surprised when the Protagonists prevail in the coming movies. Thanks to the director for the excellent job of making this movie. It was by far the most stimulating, visually stunning, and all around best movie I've ever seen. No doubt about it...that is until the next two come out maybe. Perhaps that's just my bias talking, being a major Tolkien fan, but perhaps it's just the shear facts that absolutely no one can deny. This movie is one EVERYONE must see.
