THE BEST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2002)

Whenever a famous book is made into a movie, there's loads of hype - Harry Potter being an obvious example. These movies always seem to be better in the advert. But not The Lord of the Rings. The advert didn't really do it justice! I'd give this movie 10 out of 10. It's exciting, moving, and a tiny bit romantic (Arwen and Aragorn). It was so well done, I didn't lose interest once during the three hours. I cried twice - when Gandalf fell from the bridge in the Mines of Moria, and when Sam was prepared to follow Frodo, even though he couldn't swim. Sam, Merry, and Pippin are my favourite characters. The movie captured Sam's loyalty to Frodo. And if you were in unimaginable peril, Merry and Pippin could crack a joke and make it OK. This is the best movie I've ever seen. I can tell whenever I've seen a good movie - I'm dizzy when I leave the cinema. I can't wait for the Two Towers and the Return of the King to come out. Roll on 2003...
