Fantastic!!

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2001)

After waiting for many years and reading the wonderful novels many, many times, there is finally a movie.....and it is nothing short of fantastic. Normally the movie that follows a book will be a disappointment, but the producers, directors and casting agents (in addition to the prop/computer/model makers of course!) have done a great service by rendering the book, in all of its detail, true to the screen. This movie will surely take its place as one of the best movies to hit the screen anywhere, and anytime. Both fans of the Tolkien tradition and those that have not yet been introduced will find this film to be an adventure in the grandest scale!
