The best adventure film in years

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2001)

I've been reading for a while the user comments about this film (wow, they are already more than 400!) and in general, I don't agree with the opinions of those who disliked it.
Half of the people who didn't like the movie say it was perfect as a film but bad compared to the book; the other half says that they liked the movie only because they had read the book, but as a film it was real bad. To me, that proves that they are all wrong. The movie is good (very good) as a film, and it has all the essence of the book.
I agree that in the book you get to know the characters in much more depth, but I think the movie has a good balance between character and environment description. Yeah, right, it could be better in the character department, but it is really good as it is. No movie is perfect, you know.
After reading the user comments, I went to vote for it (gave it a 10) and, well, I'll tell you what I saw: at the moment of writing this comment, more than 6500 people have voted for the film and 80% of them have given it a 10/10! If that isn't special, I don't know what could be.
I've written enough. As many say, you should go and see it, that's the only way you'll really see if it's as good as I say. If you've never liked an adventure film, I don't think this movie will change your mind; but if you ever liked Star Wars, or Star trek, or Indiana Jones, or any pirates or medieval film, any kind of adventure film, I'm sure you'll enjoy The Fellowship of the Ring as much as I did.
Can't wait for the second and third films!
