Like the critics said, "A Ring to Rule the Screen!"

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2002)

I was so impressed with this movie. I went to see it without knowing much about it. I had read the Hobbit and seen the animated version of it, but had never read the books. All that changed in about three hours. Some parts of the movie made me laugh, and others had me in sentimental tears. And it was so clean! So many movies today seem to be made with the impression that it can't be a success if it doesn't have profanity or some sexual reference in it. This movie had none of that, the PG 13 rating was for the violence, and even that wasn't so bad, mainly battle scenes. This movie sends out positive messages on loyalty, friendship, resisting temptation, and self-sacrifice. What a great film. Bravo Peter Jackson!
