Close to Perfect

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2001)

All of those people who have written how bad this movie is must be out of their minds!
Well, actually, there are not that many in reality, it is just that they are more likely to write comments than the rest of us. This movie is sooo close to perfect, the computer animation is extraordinary, far beyond anything I have ever seen before and the wide landscape pictures simply took my breath away. The acting is brilliant, the pacing is wonderful, making sure the movie doesn't drag on like the book while slight changes make it all the move believable and suited to a movie. The acting is beyong reproach, I simply cannot think of any flaw.
I cannot believe I will have to wait a year for the next installment! Take my advice, ignore the ungrateful crazies who have written that this movie is terrible, go see it for yourself, today if possible, and experience this extraordinary movie for yourself. You won't notice a moment of the 3 hours passing and you're sure to come out of the theatre a devout fan of Tolkien and Peter Jackson.
