what tremendous fun

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2002)

the movie was a tremendous, thoughtful, and human event. i have read the trilogy many times, and listened to the recorded audio adaptations many times, and have seen the 1st installment of the trilogy 5 times and i simply can't wait for next next two films. how could you not identify with this story, even if you've never read or heard the story before. you have heroes great and small, and i don't mean stature. there are so many qualities to identify with that it replays over and over in your mind. washing dishes after you've misbehaved, excellent compression, the fun loving mischief of merry and especially pippin much condensed but very effective, yes i would've liked less compression, but understand that it just wasn't practical. thanks for taking us, or rather, bringing us middle earth. it is a beautiful place.
