Greatness!

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2001)

Rarely does a movie move me so much. Never, and I mean never, has a blockbuster type movie ever lived up to the hype till now!! From the opening credits to the closing credits a fantastic epic in every sense of the word! Absolutely a must see, see again, and own on DVD! It's hard to express the sheer awesome-ness this film provides. Amazing special effects intwined in Oscar-calibur acting! Ian McKellen is simply amazing as Gandalf! I have never read the original Lord of the Rings, but after seeing this great movie I went straight to the book store and bought the entire trilogy with a giddy excitement like I was in grade school!!! It will be a long wait until the next installment, however it gives me plenty of time to read the Lord of the Rings and let the experience of seeing the Fellowship of the Rings sink in....and sink in deep with the cherished favorite films of mine! 10 out of 10 all the way!
