Truly beautiful, second viewing cleanses all =)

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2001)

I went to my first screening of 'Fellowship of the Rings' with over 40 readings of 'Lord of the Rings' under my belt and having read probably 100 movie reviews. By the end of my first viewing of the movie I felt like I had just done 3 rounds with Ali. Too many thoughts and emotions were competing with Jackson's movie.
The second time I saw the movie, 2 days later, was absolutely marvelous the nerves were gone preconceptions jettisoned. I absolutely adored and relished my second viewing of the movie.
Something happened that I never thought possible! Elijah Wood's portrayal of Frodo improved on the book. My greatest fear was the spirit of Frodo and Sam's friendship would be lost, I need not have feared. The scene at the end between Frodo and Sam was magic only a movie could deliver. For that alone Elijah, Sean and Jackson are forever my heroes thank you! Frodo lives in Elijah and I rejoice.
Don't listen to the nay sayers Jackson your way is wonderful Bravo!
P.S. I will be watching Fellowship again tomorrow and cannot wait.
