Star Wars, Schmar Wars

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2001)

I love Star Wars. I love every second of celluloid dedicated to the "Holy Trilogy," but the time has come for a new franchise to reign supreme. Lord of the Rings is that franchise. Fellowship is that good of a movie and knowing what happens in the next two books, I can only imagine how good the next two movies will be. Even if you have never read the books, you can still understand the movie because they cut out everything that isn't important and they condensed a few things together to save time, but the important stuff is all there. In fact, it might be best to see the movie and then try reading the books. The movie will probably help you understand the book a little more and with more ease. Basically, you have to see this movie, if for anything, Orlando Bloom as Legolas. Sure Gandalf and Aragorn are bad ass characters and Elijah Wood plays Frodo with perfection, it's Legolas who steals the show and he steals it in the last 10 minutes of the film with one quick move. When you see it, you will know what I mean.
