Brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2001)

I have never been so blown away by a movie in my life! Despite the plot changes (which I recognize as necessary for the sake of storytelling and seamless flow in both the film and it's pending sequels), I thought the film was brilliant. There were numerous times when a character or location would be presented and the only response that I could come up with was "that's just perfect!" It was as if Peter Jackson cracked open my brain, poured my imagination onto film, and then made it better than my mind could even conceive.
It was better than 10 Christmas mornings combined......
