the best movie i ever saw in the cinema

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2002)

well.. so i'm not usually a person to make great words about a movie. but this time i felt the urge to make an exception... even though i now talk about it in a language that is not my own.
i have seen this movie 3 times, once in german language and twice in english. (where i think the english version is quite alot better.. but maybe that's because i also have read the books only in english and not in my native language). and i still have not had enough of it. it lasts three hours, but that doesn't seem to long, since there is so much "energy" in the scenes. a fascinating story, great actors, a wonderful soundtrack, first class special effects, also to mention the great make-up and costumes - all that made this film the very best of all i have ever seen in the cinema.
i highly recommend it - if you have read the books or not, that does not matter, since the movie is a piece of art on its own.
