The first film I've ever seen that has lived up to the hype

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

OK, so I've read the books, the Silmarillion and I've got the 13 hour radio play from BBC on tape. I am a Tolkien addict, and I went to the movie with huge expectations. Even so, The Fellowship of the Ring ensnared me right from the first frame.
Usually when my expectations are as high as they were for this movie I get really disappointed, but Peter Jackson delivers his stuff in such an impressive manner, that I still get goosebumps on my skin when I think back on some of the scenes.
If you only could see one film this year, this should be it.
