LOTR

Rating: Null/10 (27 February 2002)

I can totally agree on what Peter Jackson said. "Its a movie that deserves to be seen whenever you want". With that he meant its time to stop talking about it and wondering, and just go and see it like any other movie.

I went and saw the movie on Wednesday the 21st at 2'clock PM. Usually the theaters are pretty empty at this hour around here but on the day it was full. Before the movie started there was a longer run of trailers showing. One of them that I noticed more then the others was Queen of the Damned.Its normal that they tease you at big movies with other big movies that will come soon. No one seemed to know anything about that movie, but thanks to some people here at this site, I surely did know.
Very well made love the scenes on the Steps/Bridge and the fire creature thing.However as some other people have said, I'm not really into fantasy adventures, "Not really my cup of tea".Effects were great, although some scenes seemed to be quite blurry so they got a bit confusing.
It's much much better than Harry potter but It's also a lot less true to the book. Many characters and events are completely cut out and then certain things happen in the wrong scenes but I really enjoyed it. It was very true to the feeling of the book.It's also really funny. Pip and Merry where hilarious, always thinking of their belly's first. And I have to say, I don't care what some of my friends were saying before they'd seen the movie, (haven't seen them since) but I thought Elijah wood was fab. Though I love him as an actor anyway
I dont know what to say about the movie honestly, I was both happy and disappointed. But I have promised not to judge it until I see the whole picture (the trilogy). What I can say is; its a great story and some shots were amazing as the sound through the whole thing!
