Wonderful

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

Fantastic. I really, REALLY enjoyed this film. Having been so disappointed so many times at the cinema I braced myself for yet another let down........I needn't have bothered. The film was quite simply flawless in my opinion. Others have already summed up the experience far more eloquently than I could, so I'll skip that and just point out just one of many things that made the film meet and in some cases surpass the book. The relationship between the members of the fellowship. Such an obvious bonding. The trust, reliance and companionship is evident and develops so effortlessly.........in particular I loved the scene in which Boromir was training Pippin and Merry, whilst Aragorn threw in useful tips. So simple but it added so much. A wonderful film that lived up to my expectations (which were immense). I can't wait for the next one!
