They're Alive! Thank you.

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2002)

I first read LOTR in 1967 and, like so many others, was afraid to see the movie lest it disappoint. The casting of Ian McKellan convinced me that the film was not being made by idiots. Indeed, it was not.

Peter Jackson has made an epic a bit long on battles and short on meals but one must admit that meals, however dear they are to Hobbits, do not make interesting visuals.
This was a very fine film, extraordinarily well cast, beautifully shot and perfectly acted.
Frodo lives!
Thank you, everyone.
