EASILY the best film EVER made; flawless, otherworldly and heartwrenching!

Rating: Null/10 (21 December 2001)

I could NOT believe what I was seeing and feeling in that theater for my first Lord of the Rings experience...
It was like seeing into heaven...and hell. The staggering beauty and flawless visualizations of the Shire, Rivendell, Lothlorien and the DOOM soaked plains of Mordor-the brutal factories of Isengard and the TERRIFYING and blood thirsty Orcs. WOOOOW!!
The sense of FEAR and DOOM in this is STAGGERING. Sauron is NO contest THE most POWERFULL, EVIL AND TERRIFYING force I have EVER seen in film.
I can NOT say enough. Changed my LIFE. Moved me more than anything ever has.
FLAWLESS acting ALL the way around. Wood and McKellen give THE two BEST performances I have EVER seen. Bean, Lee and the rest were AMAZING too. And Liv Tyler WAS Arwen! YEAH! She was incredible.
Best score, CG and cinematography I ever have seen as well. Moria was beyond words. The Balrog? GREATEST SEQUENCE EVER! Hands down.
The humor was surprising and VERY well done with a sense of lighthearted fun and warmth.
My favorite film of all time and MANY others I know will say the same!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
