The greatest movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2005)

This movie is far and away the greatest masterpiece ever made. Lord of The Rings actually seems to transport you to the various locations that the Fellowship encounters on their journey. The battle scenes and fights in this movie have so much lifelike power and drama that it constantly blows you away. Peter Jackson has taken the art of creating a movie to a level that has never been achieved or even seen. To be honest, I never really thought Star Wars was "all that". This movie, and its two other sequels are the best 3 films ever made IMHO. I rate them (1, 3, 2). Choosing Fellowship over Return of The King was very difficult though. It's always hard for a movie to beat its original, but Return of The King came very close. Having said that, these movies, especially Fellowship of the Ring, are "all that, and a massive truckload of chips." I never had even heard of the books prior to seeing this series, so these movies likely blew me away much more than those who had read them before. At the conclusion of this movie (3rd time seeing it at the theater), my dad looked at me in disbelief that it was over. I told him there were two more coming out in the future and his jaw dropped. The scale of this series is enormous and the characters are all so likable that Jackson makes it easy to play with your emotions as you watch events unfold throughout the movie. The magnitude of good as well as evil in this movie is extraordinary. If you see no other movie in your lifetime, see Fellowship of The Ring.
