Breathtaking

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2001)

When i first went, an saw this movie (which i have been expecting for nearly 2 years) i thought "it was okay, slow start, but okay".
However, once i started thinking and talking about it, i could not stop. And then i saw just HOW big this movie is. The first half is mostly talk, yes. But it is the most important part of the picture: To establish the different people in this fantastic world, which Peter Jackson has created. I can not think of ONE scene which belong on the cutting floor. I know i belive in Elves, halflings, orcs and trolls after i have seen this movie. I will not get in to reviewing the performances, but only say that EVERY single one, no matter how small their part is, can be damn proud of this movie, and that the movie could not have been made without any of them.
My only problem is... how can i afford to see it as many times as i want to see it??
