An incredible success for Peter Jackson

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2002)

I previously saw many of Peter Jackson's movie and I will say that I was extremely apprehensive about him taking on this project. The maker of Dead Alive couldn't possibly bring this masterpiece to the screen.
I'll admit I was wrong. Now I could go on for a looong review, but it's not necessary. There was not a single thing wrong with this movie. Brilliant casting, acting, music. . . but most of all:
This movie was the most visually dynamic movie I have ever seen... period. Crouching Tiger, The matrix, and all of the Coen brothers movies previously held that title, but Lord of the Rings edged them all. Even if you don't like the books or even fantasy stories in general, if you like the pure images that movies deliver, see this movie NOW.
