Visual Explosion

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

The long wait is over, it has arrived. Under the direction of Peter Jackson, Lord of the Rings; The Fellowship of the Ring, has turned into an epic adventure the like you have never seen.
Everyone knows the story, so I will not comment it here, except to say, that it is best story ever written and the movie stays true to the book.
I have always been a movie-addict and have seen at least 20.000 movies and my criteria for evaluating a movie is very high. Therefor I must say, The Fellowship of The Ring is the best movie I have ever seen.
Everything in this movie has been taken to perfection. Actors live their roles, landscapes are beautiful, and the visual fx brings shame to movies such as The Matrix, Episode I and Jurassic Park 3.
Never in my life have I seen anything so beautiful and impressive, although I must say, that it was a lot more violent than I had anticipated. Never the less, The Fellowship of the Ring is a must see for anyone, who... well I guess it is a must see to everyone.
