Sheer Genius

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2010)

"The Lord of the Rings" trilogy starts off with an amazing, emotional, action packed film. This film has a wholesome feeling about it, you can't help but be affected by this film in a positive way and you can't ignore the effect it has on you. Peter Jackson manages to create a whole different world that the audience can escape into Middle Earth. This film has amazing direction with Philippa Boyens, Fran Walsh and Peter Jackson who manage to bring to life J.R.R Tolkein's epic masterpiece and you can feel that they are passionate about the project and have the utmost respect for the project and that can be evidently seen in this film. "The Lord of the Rings" has amazing moral standards as there is nothing at all offence with this film which is a breath of fresh air. I love the theme of friendship which is strong on this film, the theme of sacrifice, love and the conflict between good and evil is ongoing. Of course there is the mention of the amazing performances especially by Elijah Wood and Sean Astin, and i could go on listing the rest of the cast saying they were all brilliant. Overall, a definite MUST see, a wholesome film and a great start to the trilogy.
