The Greatest Start to the Greatest Trilogy Ever Made

Rating: 9/10 (8 September 2004)

Being a massive fan of the book by JRR Tolkien, and being an aspiring film director myself, I didn't want to speculate about the quality of the movie. BUT, after watching it, I can truly say that Peter Jackson has done the book justice in all ways. The acting is quality, truly incredible sets, and astounding battle scenes. Perfect eye candy. In the movie, some of the facts from the book are changed, but what makes this film worth viewing, is the fact that these changes provide a fresh insight to the story, even for people, like myself, who read the book over 5 times. The movie obviously ends with a "To Be Continued...", but what your left with is that need to watch the second and third parts of the trilogy, which makes it so exciting.
