loved the whole d*mn thing!

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2002)

Now, living in rural Georgia, most people around here, when asked if they had seen this movie, they'd say, "Lord of the what?" and tell you to go away. But being the rebel that I am, I'm not like most of those people. And not having the luxuries of those "big cities" we read about in People magazine, there's not much to do around here. So I watch a lot of movies (and I mean a LOT), and if I haven't seen it 10 times, I've at least seen in 3 times. So, when I saw the preview for this movie, I knew I had to see it. I'm a sucker for special effects, cool movie make up, and bloody fight scenes. But I also like movies that stretch one's imagination. I'm also the type of person who'll watch the movie instead of reading the book, so I thought I'd get a glimpse of what everybody was fussin' about. I won't go into detail of why I liked the movie, but I will tell you I liked it! I loved everything about this movie and I wouldn't change a thing. It's hard trying to turn a book into a movie and Peter Jackson did a hell of a job. Great cast who played great characters, with great special effects, great music, etc. Most people have already said what I wanted to say, but I definitely recommend it for those who haven't seen it already.
And I'm not a reader of J.R.R. Tolkien books, but after seeing this movie, I wanna read everything this man has ever written. So, I was little overwhelmed when I searched his name on bn.com, (or was it amazon...who cares?) and there were over 250 titles under his name. I'll continue to find the best copies I can for his books, but I have definitely become a fan of this movie. And I'm pretty sure I'll be a fan of the ones to follow.
