A treasure of unimaginable value.

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2003)

This movie could not get any better than it is. Peter Jackson is a wonderful director who caught the true essence of the book series and brought it to life with a talented cast and crew who were, fantastical. Every minute detail was used to create a film unlike no other that, as I see it, has changed the way every other filmmaker makes films. Not only has this changed the film industry, but it has also changed the way many people look at everything. After reading the books, they ultimately became my favourite, I was worried about how the movie would turn out, what with the time involved and the exclusion of Tom Bombadil, but now the movies have become my favourite movies as well. Each time I read even a page of the book or watch a scene from the movie I feel that I'm actually in Middle-Earth, and to create the same sense with two different mediums is utterly awe-inspiring! However they did it, it worked. I cannot even write a grammatically correct paragraph about it without pausing to remember the words I want to say about it, but in any case I thank anyone who even had the smallest of part in making this trilogy. I don't know any of them, I haven't met them, but wherever they are, thank you. Gratias tibi ego.
