A perfect fantasy

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2001)

A surprisingly accurate depiction of the classic Tolkien tale. Three die-hard Tolkien fans, two currently-reading-book-one viewers, and two completely-unfamiliar-with-anything-Tolkien viewers, between the ages of 15 and 47, saw this picture together. All were extremely satisfied and can't wait to come back to see it again (and again). I was astounded as the images formed in my imagination from reading the book, continually jumped from my mind onto the screen. Thank you Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and everyone else involved with this production from casting and editing, to makeup, special effects, and "other crew".
