This one goes up to 11.

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2001)

Due to technical limitations, I could only give this movie ten stars out of ten, which is quite a shame as I would readily have given eleven. I absolutely loved "Fellowship of the Ring," and it looks as though this trilogy will likely take the place of the Indiana Jones films as my all-time favorite.
Perhaps it's just the massive hype surrounding "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" (Let's call it "FotR" for readability's sake,) but something amazing happened today, December 21, 2001. For the first time in years, "The Godfather" is no longer #1 on the IMDb's top 250 list; it has been ousted by FotR. Whether or not FotR will remain at the top is a simply a matter of time. Will future viewers see this film as the rest of the world has thus far? It is unusual for any movie to be so universally loved as this, and for that reason I will end here. Surely I cannot say anything good about FotR that has not already been said by another reviewer.
