The best ever !

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2001)

What to say about this film? It is fantastic, brilliant.
How do I know that? Just imagine that you would have made this film, could you have made such a masterpiece? I don't think so! That is what makes this film so brilliant. Everything is perfect : from the direction of Peter Jackson, to the acting of SIR Ian McAllen, to the soundtrack from Howard Shore. Have you ever seen any set-decoration like this, it is really unbelievable. Have you ever experienced such an epic, with so much space for emotions? (except from old classics like Ben-Hur, Spartacus,...) The words of Gandalf : "Run, you fools" are already legendary, and the scene is much more shocking then DiCaprio's dead in Titanic. The photography is brilliant, and for those who say the actions sequences are bad, I have one question : Why would have Jackson shot them like this? I am convinced that Jackson can shoot the sequences you prefer, but for some reason, he doesn't do it like that. Try to find the answer!
The book is more then a masterpiece, but this is a film, so it is impossible to compare it with a book. For the film there is only one conclusion: It is a (more then) a masterpiece from start to ending! Some ask if the next 2 parts will be as good as this one, well, I can assure you that they will be as good ! (No, not better, because I think that is impossible. But maybe I am wrong, because what it still impossible after you have seen this film?)
This film is "The Bible" for all those who love film, and I will see it over and over! Peter Jackson, Sir Ian McAllen and all the brilliant people who worked on this film, thank you very much, for giving me the best 3 hours I have ever experienced!
