Perhaps the best movie ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2002)

Peter Jackson has produced perhaps the finest movie ever made. The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring is a beautiful, rich movie filled with wonderful performances and excellent special effects. But it is Tolkien's story and character building that make this such an excellent movie.

I am particularly impressed with Ian McKellen's performance as Gandalf. What an incredible actor! But it's difficult to single out any specific actor in this movie, as everyone turns in an incredible performance. There was no one in the movie who didn't become their character. At no point was I disappointed with anyone's portrayal.
I rated this movie a perfect 10. This movie reminded me why there are blockbusters. All other movies that I have seen in the past few years absolutely pale in comparison.
