MAGNIFICENT!!!

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2001)

Hands down the BEST movie of the year.
I finally watched The Lord of the Rings today after reading all the reviews and seeing it become #1 movie of all time here at IMDB. I was trying to find bad things about this movie so I can talk about it after the movie. This movie blew my mind. I couldn't find anything, I mean, not a single bad thing about this movie.
It starts out wonderfully. The narration was just perfect with awesome battle scenes. I have never read this book or was I a Peter Jackson fan. I simply watched the trailers few times and thought it looked really good.
The cinematography was absolutely gorgeous with flawless acting and special effects. Every nature scenes were beautifully filmed. Elijah Wood really surprised me. It had some surprising twists (remember, I never read the book) and very sad moments. The character developments were excellent. I really cared about each characters and when they were in trouble, I was all excited. One funny part was when I found out that one of the agent from The Matrix was in this movie and said "OMGOSH, he's the agent from The Matrix!!!" in the middle of the movie. Yeah maybe that was too loud, but it was funny.
If you haven't seen this movie yet, please go see it. When the movie ended, I found myself grasping for more. It didn't even feel like it was 3 hours long. WOW... What an experience. I don't think anyone could've done a better job and I can't wait to see the next one. Definitely worth seeing it in the theater.
10/10
