It's great, it's great, it's great, it sucks

Rating: 9/10 (21 April 2002)

Lord of the Rings. What can I say? Pearl Harbor was suppose to take the year 2001 away, like that. with no sweat. The movie that ended up being the Titanic of 2001 was Lord of the Rings. And its really everything that people said it would be. It's funny, intense, breath-taking, a nail biter, heart racing, scary, and sad. The graphics and special effects. Let's just say I'm still in awe. How do you take normal people and shrink them so they appear to be hobbits? but not only that, in the same shot, there is a normal person who appears to be a giant. How do you create a population full of grusemely gross creatures that just can't seem to die out? How are the fire-cracker ideas thought of? It's amazing, and as a member of the audience I guess these questions will never be answered, but that's fine, because I'll just let them amaze me, and i'm ok with that. The story line is great. I haven't read the book, but I heard it differs in many ways, unlike harry potter which follows the book's story line 100%. I have to give the author credit. His ideas are different from Harry Potter, yet similar as well. However he must have the best imagination, because the story line was amazing. It always kept you guessing what was going to happen next. And you were never let down. Everything that happened was always a suprise. Nothing was left given. That's why everyone can enjoy it. However, for the girls, there's also the sappy part. The part that made me cry along with the characters in the movie. But I guess you'll just have to watch the movie yourself to see why I cried. Trust me it's worth it. But now, we've gone through the it's great. it's great, it's great. it doesn't seem like it could suck does it? Anyways, it did. The climax kept on building and building and building, until the 3 hour long movie seemed like nothing. And you want to keep on watching the movie, but it ends, and it just leaves you hanging, when the movie is at the top of its climax!!!! At some points the movie seems long, but at the end you don't want it to end. And you don't believe it has ended until you see the credits. Well at least that's how it was for me. That's why it got a 9. But there are two more sequels coming out, so maybe its good that i was left hanging. Because I am definitely watching the next movie. And if that movie leaves me hanging too, I am definitely watching the third movie.
