Better than I thought it would be

Rating: Null/10 (28 August 2002)

Okay, I didn't really think I would like this movie. My husband went to see it without me and raved about it. I thought maybe it might be more of a guy flick. Well, I finally checked it out and have to say it had me hooked. When it was up for an Oscar I thought, "give me a break." I have to say now it deserved one. I got really involved with the characters and found myself rooting and crying for them. My favorite character was Gandalf. Elijah Wood does a great job too. I mean he looks just like a little Hobbit. Not to mention falling in love with Legolas. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. Just a great movie overall. Don't listen to the naysayers who say it's overhyped. Maybe they haven't really seen the movie? Or maybe fantasy it's just not for them. That JRR Tolkien had an imagination. Now I must read the books. Anyway, decide for yourself.
