One Movie to Rule them all and in the darkness shame them

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

This movie sinks titanic like even the iceberg couldn't, it outflies Harry Potter, outguns The Godfather and dances faster than the Matrix make no mistake this is THE best movie produced so far this century. Have you seen the billboards, advertisements, trailers, competitions, newspaper articles, documentaries, CDs and official merchandise? Well once you've seen this movie you'll realise that even with all of that this movie is UNDER hyped!
The acting is superb, the camera shots are breathtaking, the special effects are dazzling, the storyline and script are exquisite, the energy surrounding the whole movie is infectiously high and by the end of the movie you'll be clapping and cheering just like everyone that was in the cinema with me!
Fellowship of the Ring starts off low key enough with a narrative explaining how the Ring came to be, what exactly it is and how Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) would come in possession of it, the plot then cruises along slowly building momentum but 1/2 way through the movie Peter Jackson(the director) pulls out all the stops and lets everything rip with high paced chases, battles and then adds 20 litres of emotional morphine to the movie to make this a very VERY great movie. No, that is too light a compliment, this movie will leave you in awe at its very being because it is so grand and beautiful this is one hell of a movie. Forget Harry Potter, Episode One (and probably even Episode Two), Star Wars, Titanic, The Matrix, The Godfather and all other movies before this one because there is only One Movie to Rule Them all and in the darkness shame them.
