Good movie...yet bad movie

Rating: 9/10 (6 February 2005)

What can i say about this film that already hasn't been said? Its excellent in almost every aspect. The cinematography is gorgeous, acting is wonderful by everybody except Orlando Bloom (even though his action scenes are good) (and also because the character of Legolas wasn't fleshed out enough), writing is good and not too many important scenes were cut out of the book, o and did i say the cinematography was gorgeous? Now to the few negatives. I already said Blooms acting was bad. But the thing that really made me give this movie a 9 out of 10 was Peter Jackson. His career as a horror movie maker really hurt him in this wonderful movie. Several scenes (such as the Uruks being born out of those mud sacs) (the scene were Galadriel goes all psycho) (some of the battle scenes were there was blood and gore) could only have been imagined by a horror fan. Everything else was excellent. The special effects were amazing (now i know why George Lucas wanted to make his first Star Wars movies in the late 20th and 21st century). Even though it was 3 hours long the movie moves smoothly, only getting stuck a few times (the love scenes). If you thought this movie was terrible you 1)cant appreciate a good film 2)need to take a chill pill and 3)must have some nervous disorder if you cant still to watch an excellent movie like this.
