Is Peter Jackson an alien?

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2002)

Apparently Peter Jackson has a secret device capable of looking into my mind while I read a book and turning what it sees into a movie. I've seen it three times now, and each time the movie ends and I feel like I've woken up from a dream. (no, I haven't been sleeping during the movie ;)

I just laugh when I read some of the negative comments here. `The film's too long.' Geez people, maybe there's more to life than 30 second commercials. Is it so hard to sit and pay attention for 3 hours in a row? Yes, if you get up to get your `tub-o-popcorn', chances are you won't understand `who this person is' or `why this is happening.' If you are one of those people who can't follow a story unless hollywood clobbers you over the head with it, then just leave this film alone and go see Harry Potter.

People are giving this movie a 10/10 because it deserves it.
