My inspiration

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2005)

This film blew me away. Prior to seeing it, I have only read "The Hobbit". I did not know the story. I enjoyed this film (or As I've discovered at the end of the film, first third of the film) from start to surprising end. Surprising because I thought each of the three parts was it's own separate story, like Star Wars or other films with sequels. Wrong. it takes three movies to tell one story. The story is set in a totally believable fantasy realm. believable as in it FEELS like it could have existed. This is no Dungeons and Dragons. It possess its own unique magical charm. i have enjoyed this film so much that it is the reason I plan to go into film.
