The Original Epic Brought to Life!

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2001)

I must say that when I walked out of the cinema I was so overly impressed with this film that I could not think of any words that could describe this movie. This movie is soo great it belongs in a genre of it's own. There is no other movie out there like this.
Fellowship of the Rings combines almost every element. Humour, romance, action, suspense. You name it, this film has it. And like the book it is a true epic.
When viewing this film you feel as if you are a part of it, and not viewing from the real world. This movie is soo real that when you walk out of the cinema you will feel like you are entering an alien world. Everything in this film seems soo realistic and breathtaking. From the Balrog(acknowledgements to John Howe) to the scenery. Everything in this film is perfect.
And after seeing FOTR I feel that there is now a film, or atleast there will be a film trilogy that can rival if not do better than the Star Wars Trilogy. And that Peter Jackson has been able to accomplish what many labelled as the impossible.
And so I would like to thank Peter Jackson for this film, and the other two to come.
And I think PJ and his team have recieved a much deserved 10/10 from me.
