The greatest movie of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2001)

I have been a Tolkien fan since I was 3. My father taught me how to read off of the books, and I have read them numerous times. When I heard they were doing the live action adaptation of the Lord of the Rings, I was skeptical (look what happened to Battlefield Earth).
I am pleased with what Peter Jackson has done with this first film in the trilogy. He managed to bring the book to life in a way I thought would have been impossible. I can honestly think of no bad things to say about this film. I can't wait for The Two Towers and the Return of the King. Bravo Jackson!
--The characters are believable, and the photography matches their descriptions to the book
--The book was mostly uncut from the book.
--the CGI's and the sets were spectacular
--the battle scenes were excellent
If you like fantasy you will love this film, I have never seen an adaptation that I enjoyed as much (even The Green Mile!) Rarely have I seen a movie that inspired my friends to read the books, but a few of my friends have already begun the trilogy because they loved the film!
If you have the time, see this movie, you won't be sorry!
