Awesome film.

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

This film at once celebrates everything that has been achieved in this artform since the first moving pictures flickered into life while defining the standard by which all films will be judged from now on. The day after seeing the film I am still searching for words to do it justice. For the first time, special effects are so real that you simply accept that what you see on screen is real. You are completely immersed into Tolkien's world and propelled along on the most amazing adventure imaginable.
I don't think I will bother going to the movies anymore - I can't imagine anything topping this...except the next in the trilogy perhaps.
