Tremendous!

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

I am not a Tolkien-phile and have not (yet) read the books, but I just saw this film and thought it was fantastic! I really and truly enjoyed it from start to finish. Peter Jackson did a marvelous job adapting the material (from what I understand) and making it work on the screen. I can't wait for the remaining two parts! If only others in Hollywood understood the importance of character and story because "Fellowship of the Ring" stands head and shoulders above all the crap Hollywood's been chucking out over the past few years (Pixar's films excluded, of course). Bravo!
