Hoping not to sound repetitive, I enjoyed the movie immensely

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2002)

Before you read my comment, you are to know that I have not read others comments so far. I do not need to read them. If indeed you still have not seen to movie so far [and I am assuming that's a small minority of people], then you shall hear my opinion on the movie.
Having read the books previously, I of course had a set image in my mind of what the movie should contain. When I went to go and see it, I was astounded of how Peter Jackson adapted the most-loved novel of all time, to the best film I have ever seen.
The actors of the film, all of them were so wonderful. Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins, did a superb job. To me, he portrayed Frodo better than anyone I could have imagined. And as a female, I also admired his good-looks during the film That is not to say he is a pretty boy who does not know how to act. Quite the opposite actually, he is a pretty boy who knows how to act. Plus, my brother who saw it with me, said he was great. So there. The remaining Hobbits, Dominic Monaghan [as Merry], Sean Astin [as Sam], Billy Boyd [as Pippin] were also fantastic.
The two lead women in the film, Liv Tyler [as Arwen] and Cate Blanchett [as Galadriel] were wonderful in there unique ways. In the book, Arwen is only mentioned at the meeting in the house of Elrod. It was wonderful to see a tough female character in the film. It was as if, during the short time onscreen Liv Tyler had in the film, she put all her effort into her character. And you see it. You love her character. Indeed Liv Tyler takes your breath away in the film Cate Blanchett who has been a favorite of mine for a long time, portrayed the character of Galadriel marvelously. She was great as Galadriel.
The remaining hero's of the fellowship, Sean Bean [as Boromir], Orlando Bloom [as Legolas], Ian McKellen [as Gandalf], Viggo Mortensen [as Aragorn] and John Rhys-Davis [as Gimli], and I am sounding repetitive, but they were great. I do have a favorite among all those, and that is Orlando Bloom. He was wonderful as Legolas.
Another favorite of mine Hugo Weaving [as Elrond], moved me also in the short time he had on screen. My favorite is when he is at the fire of Mount Doom or Mordor, and he is asking the human to throw the ring in. You must go and see it, to know what I am speaking of.
Peter Jackson, must get at least an Oscar for the fabulous job. The effects, the everything [?} that he did in the film, was great. Truly he is a genius, a genius that has done a wonderful adaptation of a book I love reading.
Thank you.
