The Lord of the Rings trilogy has replaced the Star Wars prequel trilogy as the new science fiction franchise of the 21st century!

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2002)

Wow, Peter Jackson has accomplished the impossible, by bringing the most beloved book series of the 20th century to audiences of the 21st century with magnificent results.
The characters really stand out, the costumes are terrific, and the special effects really give Industrial Light and Magic a run for their money. It's a shame that Jackson didn't direct Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, because he would have brought a lackluster script to life!
Peter Jackson has now become one of a very select group of directors such as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas to helm a true timeless masterpiece!
Nominated for 13 academy awards and winner of four Oscars, The Fellowship of the Rings is one of the best films I have seen in over ten years!
A 10 on a scale of 1-10!
