The great fairy tale!

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2020)

Today the film "Lord of the Rings" is almost a classic of cinema. It received a bunch of Oscars and other prestigious awards, and director Peter Jackson became famous overnight as a person who can create an adventure on the screen where the viewer is a real participant in the action. But "The Lord of the Rings" is perhaps a completely different story.
Hollywood has not remembered such a scale since the time of the "Titanic." Indeed, "Lord of the Rings" cannot be called a poor picture, but not only the means contributed to the enormous success of the film. The main performers, graphics, special effects, camera work, sets, costumes, battle scenes - everything is just perfect.
A win-win idea was a genius in the open spaces of New Zealand. Incredibly beautiful landscapes of this country are equal to 80% of the success of the film.
Of course, in comparison with the book, they changed something, cut something out, the main characters are very different from the Tolkien ones; however, the director managed to preserve the atmosphere itself.
"The Lord of the Rings" by Peter Jackson may not be a masterpiece in comparison with the world cinema, of course, without an exciting book written by John Tolkien, we would not have seen such a movie. Someone chooses a book, someone a movie, and you can also read a book and watch a movie. Jackson created his movie and this is a film that gave us a real fairy tale.
