An Epic Adventure with Magnificent Scenery

Rating: 10/10 (1 September 2002)

I had read The Hobbit earlier in the year for the first time before I even knew that they were coming out with The Lord of the Rings movies, so when I found out that they were making these movies, I got all excited and immediately I was drawn to wanting to see them. And in seeing the first installment, I am indeed amazed by how it was able to capture all of Tolkien's magic in the movie to the smallest little detail. Watching the movie, I felt I was right there with them experiencing the action alongside them. The actors did amazing jobs fully taking in their characters and embracing their personality. The scenery was amazing as it was beautiful and how much I wanted to believe a place like that really exists. It was such a beautiful movie and I cannot wait for the next ones to come out!
