It's good?

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2002)

I think that the film was WONDERFUL. At first I didn't want to watch it, thinking it wouldn't beat Harry Potter (that can be expected of a 13-year-old girl who had never read Lord of the Rings but is a fan of Harry Potter). Then I heard from all my friends that it was cool and I was sticking out like a sore thumb, because everyone else was talking about it (even my mum, who had gone watch it, and my teacher, who had watched it twice) and I had no idea what they were saying. So I have to admit that my intention to watch the movie wasn't because I wanted to, it was because I wanted to see if it was really THAT fantastic and I wanted to be able to know what my friends were talking about. So I dragged my grandma to along to watch it with me. The first time I watched it, I was completely blown away. I wasn't in a freezing cinema in Singapore; I was in Middle-earth, with the Fellowship, experiencing everything with them. It was great, and I couldn't forget that feeling (and never will). Being a daydreamer, it was natural that half my daydreams were about Lord of the Rings. Being a bookworm, I borrowed The Hobbit from my friend and got my mum to buy the Lord of the Rings books so I could read them. I have to say that the movie is as good as the book, even though there are a few changes. Some people say that there shouldn't be changes, but I think it's only normal that the movie has a few changes. If the movie followed the book EXACTLY, I don't think so many people would go watch it!
I can't wait for the other two movies, and for now I have to satisfy myself with reading the books again and again, checking out Lord of the Rings websites and waiting for the DVD to come out so I can watch it the third time.
