Amazing.

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2002)

I thought the era of magic and miracles on film was long over. FOTR is the Lawrence of Arabia of the 21st century. There are so many fantastic things about this production it's hard to know where to begin. Chiefly, I have to say that the script and the acting (not the effects, although they really were excellent) was what made the movie. Sir Ian McKellan and Ian Holm both deliver chilling, inspiring performances. I never thought I'd say this, but I may actually have to start taking Christopher Lee seriously!
