This is undoubtedly the best film ever!

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2002)

This is the best film ever. And that's not just in the fantasy genre, i mean out of all the films i have ever seen, this IS the best!

It has stunning Visual FX, I especially liked the battle scene in Moria and at Amon Hen (the bit at the end near the waterfall). The makeup and costumes were brilliantly done and looked better than I imagined them to look from the descriptions in the book.
I think that New Zealand was the perfect setting for LOTR. It has everything you need to make a film of LOTR: Mountains, Plains, Rivers, Waterfalls etc.
I cant wait for The Two Towers to come out, and, from the DVD's preview of it, it looks to be even greater than 'The Fellowship Of The Ring'.
10 of 10, i think if they had just an OSCARS award night for the Fantasy Genre, LOTR would take every award.
A bit of advice for every one, Buy the videos or DVD's of all the LOTR films when they all come out even if you don't like fantasy, then at least if you don't like it, you can sell it in the future in an auction as a collector's item for a big price.
