I was moved beyond belief!

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2002)

As a longtime Tolkien fan I waited for this movie with fear.I didnt think the books could be ported to film and was concerned that the text would not be respected.But Peter Jackson is a prince! He made what I consider one of the greatest movies of all time.He had to cut some things and alter others but the spirit of the book was more than respected.In many cases the emotional content was magnified to epic proportions.It is this emotion and the acting ability which brings it to us that makes this movie so special.Yes there are great special effects,beautiful scenery,and breathtaking sets but it is this Heart that sets FOTR above the rest.I have seen the movie 12 times so far and plan to see it much more now that it is the lower cost theatres.With the next two movies promising to be even better,it looks like a new film legend is born.
