Breath taking

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2003)

I've been a big fan of the lord of the rings books for years as well as the hobbit. I'm am amazed by what legendary cult film maker but unknown director peter jackson has done with this epic. The time and the effort is just incredible. I love how Jackson did this film. Everything from the makeup to the weapons to the scenerary is incredible. The cast is respectable to. I hear alot of people critique the actors for poor acting but we have to remember that these are mythological creatures they dont excist so there extremely difficult to play. Give the majority of the credit to peter jackson for pulling this film off. Ian mckellan and Christopher lee both did a good job of the wizards but the biggest suprise of all had to be Viggo Mortenson a complete unknown who played the key role of Aragorn perfectly.
