Who'd have thought that it could be THIS good!?

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

Wow, I want to see it again. Right now. I love the books and this film is as good as I could ever have hoped it to be. The casting and performances are superb, the cinematography, effects ,props and locations are right about perfect. This had better be a packed out, three disc DVD because I want to know everything about how this wonderful piece of movie-making accomplished what it has done.
Go and see it, then read the books again because it's the only way that you'll be able to cope with the 12 months until the next one comes to the screen.
