Truely Amazing

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 2002)

Like many others, I unwillingly waited for this production and was both fearful and excited about the idea of "Lord of the Rings" being turned into a movie. I happen to be a big fan of the books (to the point where all of my pets have been named after characters) and the very preview of this first part of the Epic story was enough to take my breath away. And I couldn't have been happier with the results achieved by the professionals involved with the making of this picture!!
As a personal protection, I tried not to picture any actor or actress to portrait the many wonderful characters in Tolkien's work - to avoid disappointments with the offical cast - and I have to say that I would not be able to imagine artists more perfect for the parts than the ones that were casted. The creatures that had been part of my imagination for years seemed have been brought to life in front of my very eyes as I watched this wonderful movie!!
Faithful to its source as only a movie directed by a fan could be, "The Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring" is certainly only the first of a trilogy that will enchant and amaze generations to come. Because that's what the books and this movies are: Truely Amazing!!
