The best fantasy movie ever

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2002)

You can tell this was made by people who cared, by people who know and love the books by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Everything about this movie radiates excellence. The awesome production design & SFX, the star cast, the noble & heroic themes as heard in the soundtrack...
Even if you do not care about the books, this is grand cinema. A bigger-than-life story featuring great characters, all this taking place in a beautiful pseudo-medieval earth that never existed...
As far as I am concerned, this is the best fantasy movie ever made. Well, until part two is released, that is. :-)
