Outstanding, Brilliant, Perfect, etc.

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2003)

The Lord of the Rings has finally made its way to the big screen, and has arrived in a brilliant, stunning fashion. From the costumes to the score to the special effects to the atmosphere, everything about FOTR is perfect. The story, which follows the journey of the all-powerful One Ring, is driven astonishingly by incredible acting from everyone involved. This is the best film of 2001 and a breathtaking start to what should be cinema's finest trilogy of all-time.
10 out of 10.
