I have to say when i first saw this movie i liked it but i didnt love it, or at least not yet. I read more about this story and learned about the facts and characters and i have to say i want to see this movie everyday now. It is a classic for our time. This is what working so hard on a film is worth. This can be put amongst the greatest movie of all time and not just in my opinion. I would have to say it is better than Harry Potter or any of the new Star Wars movies. Thats hard for me to say being such a big fan of Star Wars. Ofcourse there are some classics it could never beat like the original Star Wars for example. This definitely is a hard earned film. Props to Peter Jackson for his directing. Ian Mckellan as Gandolf was awesome. I could not think of anyone better for the job. I thought about Christopher Lee but he played well enough as Saramon. Elijah Wood and Sean Astin have been two of my favorite actors for years and to see both of them together in one film was good enough for me. When i found out John Rhys Davies played Gimli i flipped out. He is always doing a great job like in Indiana Jones and King Solomons Mines. Im gla to see he is still doing well and actually better than ever. Now Viggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom, and Sean Bean im not too familiar with. Bean plays Borimir who is courageous and some what good hearted but coneyving at the same time. I couldnt think of anyone better for that part. Mortensen plays Aragorn(Strider). I think he was an awesome actor in this. Aragorn's performance grows more on me every time i see the movie. My favorite of the whole film was Bloom playing the character Legoles. The old myth of the elf comes to life through this character. I have always studied the myth of the elves and they got it pretty accurate. Featherweight, great senses, ears of a dolphin, nose of a hound, eye of a hawk, eats like a bird, strategic moves, skill with a bow, very feirce and crafty with the blade when they have to be. Above all this movie is amongst my favorites and i cant wait until the whole trilogy comes out.
