excellent!!!!!!!!just excellent

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2001)

the second most hyped up movie of the year (other being harry potter) puts down all competators including harry potter. unfortunatally i wanted harry potter to be better i am afraid to say (don't get me wrong harry potter rock) that lord of the rings is one of the best films of the year. this film is all what i knew it was going to be and better. although i would have liked to see bigger roles from cate blanchett and liv tyler. the graphics is top of the line. the acting is excellent and when i saw harry potter i thought that the best movie i saw that was the truest to the book.well move over because if you have read the fellowship you know every scene in the movie. this movie will beat its competitors at everything except for two things:the box office, because it is three hours the showings are limited so harry potter will probably win at that category and the other is that lord of the rings is a very gory movie so little kids won't be able to see it where as harry potter is an everyone movie so it wins in that category as well.everyone wants this movie to be oscar calibre and win every award. although it may be nominated for alot it won't win that many. special effects they will win though but if it is nominated for best picture than it is going to have to fight mullholland drive, i am sam (which is not yet out)also in the bedroom and monsters ball will also be nominated.
**********************SPOILERS******************************************it starts out being an introduction and even starts out before the hobbit does. you are introduced to sulom and that he once ruled mordor(thats their country)by wearing the one ring that ruled them all. through a battle elrond cuts it off and gets lost for ever. until bilbo baggins gets it and 60 years later gives it to frodo.who by gandalf is sent on a special expedition to destroy it and is accompanied by merry and pippin. and a whole bunch of other people that it is hard to remember but two of their real names include viggo mortensen and sean benn. sean benn eventueally dies by orcs.
to conclude my summary i will say that this film rocks and you don't want to miss it.
