One of the best movies of all time

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2002)

I am so glad to see that The Lord of the Rings has made #3 on the top 250 films. This is one of the best films that I have ever seen, I hadn't read any of the books before seeing this film so I was a bit confused but I still enjoyed myself. After seeing the film one time, I went and bought the trilogy, and so far have read The Fellowship from cover to cover, and I am currently reading The Two Tower. Then I went and saw LotR a second time and this time it seemed as if Middle Earth came alive. I was so pleased with the film. The characters were perfectly portrayed and the visual effect were great. But i think the most breath-taking element of this movie is the cinematography. I couldn't believe that the whole movie was filmed in just one country (New Zealand) However, March 24 was a bitter sweet night for me, and i think many of the LotR readers will agree with me. I was pleased about all the awards it won (visual effects, musical score, make-up, and cinematography) but i was displeased about the academys choice for best picture. But hey there are two more movies yet to be released and I bet they will be as great as the first one. But anyone who hasn't seen the movie yet i advise to see it, you will enjoy it and the movie has a little bit of something many people will like. Well, see the movie and enjoy it!
