Superlatives fail me...

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2001)

One must appreciate the fact that in the making of a movie such as this, there are an unseen number of possibilities of mistake and failure. Yet this movie somehow remains flawlessly true to the great story of Tolkien and I cannot thank Peter Jackson enough for that. The problem of describing this movie is ultimately the fact that every single superlative in the book has in the past been used to describe other movies of various quality, which makes them unfit to describe this masterpiece; there just has never been a film like this before. Ultimately in order to give this film its due credit you simply have to invent a new grade, 10 just does not describe it.
