Breathless

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2002)

The only bad thing about this movie, for all intents and purposes is that it ends. Waiting for the next one will be painful. This movie was full of emotion, more so than even I figured Jackson would be able to pull out of us in the audience. I wish I could completely blank my memory or the books before seeing this, so I can be in the shoes of the un-initiated, but oh well.
This is easily the best movie I have ever seen, expecting to be topped only by the sequels.
I can't wait for the DVD either... I hope the rumours are true about adding back in some cuts scenes and the possible "R" version. 3 hours is not too long to sit for such a great story.
I saw it twice in the theater and can't imagine getting bored of watching it over and over.
The extremely small amount of flaws (most flaws I hear from people have more to do with the story or the fact that they didn't realize that part one doesn't FINISH the story) still couldn't warrant me not giving it a 10... so I did give it a pretty solid ten.
