I was wrong.

Rating: 10/10 (25 August 2002)

I've never read the books, and when people started talking about The Lord of The Rings movie, I wondered what the big deal was. I saw the previews, and read some reviews, but I just didn't care to see it. A silly fantasy film with wizards and small people with hairy feet? What was that about? Maybe if I was 5 I'd want to see it. So I didn't see it.. months later, it comes out on DVD, my friend buys it and lets me borrow it. So after about a week, I was bored so I said, what the hell, I'll check it out. I was wrong, I should have seen the movie when it came out. I know where I'll be this December, and next December. The Lord of The Rings book box set is in the mail and on its way to my house. I'll be buying my own copy of the DVD tomorrow and I'll buy the special extended edition DVD this November.
This movie was awesome, the story, the action, the effects, everything was amazing, especially the scenery. New Zealand is beautiful, I will have to go there someday. The acting was great, the characters seemed real, not just actors playing a part. Great movie.
If you haven't seen this movie yet, see it! Even if you haven't read the book, it's amazing.
