a film for all time

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2002)

When i went to the cinema to see the lord of the rings, i was expecting a run-of-the-mill fantasy movie like harry potter. what i got was an entertainment joyride in the palm of director peter jackson. the acting was great, the action sequences were among the best ever filmed and the graphics excellent. my only quibble was that it wasn't long enough but hopefully the DVD will take care of that. 9/10 stars
