Have we been to the same film?

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2002)

I just cannot understand some of the comments I've read here, I must have seen a different film. Most bizarre of all has to be the chap who complains bitterly about the lack of an ending to this film; where have you been?! There has been no misleading of anyone, this is the FIRST PART of a trilogy for goodness sake!! I don't want to spoil anyone's enjoyment of the next film, The Two Towers, but I don't think that will have a definite ending either (shock, horror!). This film is magnificent, one of the best I've ever seen. The fact that it doesn't always fit exactly with my imaginings or those of anyone else is irrelevant, we're all of us different and this is the interpretation of one man, Peter Jackson. I don't think it will be a million miles away from most people's interpretation anyway. 10 out of 10 for Mr Jackson, and roll on the next in the series.
