A Film Fantastic....

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2001)

This movie,directed by Peter Jackson,had me from the it's beginning!! I was held captive by it's beautiful cinematography and set design. The little Hobbit village was all that I had hoped it would be. Kudos to the casting Ian McKellan IS Gandalf!Everyone did a great job! I was one an emotional roller coaster with this first installment of the lord of the rings trilogy! If this doesn't inspire a new generation of readers of the books written by Tolkein,then I don't know what will. I whole heartedly encourage all to see this movie because you are in for a treat!The movie is about 3hrs long but you don't feel it all!The action sequences where excellent although at times the camera work was a bit to jerky to follow things,but other than...AWESOME! Special effects were breath-taking. At times,it was hard to distinguish the CGI from the real thing and in my opinion,that's incredible!! So,what are you reading this review?!!You're wasting time!Go see this film on the silver screen where it belongs!You won't regret it!!
