Farly the best of the three ones

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 2004)

When Peter Jackson first started to work on the biggest project in cinema history i doubt he thought it would be this good. Who would have guessed. Anticipations were so high that it's a miracle PJ and his crew didn't panic. I mean... we're talking 'bout J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings here. Well the result really is too much more than you could have ever expected, so you really can't just wacth it once.
About the acting i think everyone, who is not completely raised in a small room, can enjoy it from every single actor. They're not maybe all exceptional, but what they are, is that they are fitting. All of the cast members are perfect and Ian McKellen really is Gandalf, Viggo Mortensen really is Aragorn, Sean Astin really is Sam...
But really EVERY part of this movie is enjoyable. The direction by Jackson is amazingly pulled through and is interesting. Though all of those changes the screenplay still seems like a clear movie adaptation of the original book. What The Lord of the Rings maybe mostly offers you is a completely believable paradox of fairytale world. THAT is truly amazing. The Black Riders are a good example; there the power comes of the horse they ride, and the strongness and evil from the tormented soul riding those lands.
What The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring gives you is 3 hours of pure movie magic. It's even(maybe not even so little) better than the awesome second and third. THIS could be the movie of the decade. At least it should have won that best picture Oscar...
