Of course, the best thriller of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (10 October 2002)

As most of the 10s of thousands of people that have taken the time to put in a vote for this movie had said, this was a great movie, you get to hear it again. This was a terrific and amazing movie! I have read this book and have to say that it follows all the key points of the story. It did leave out a few main events, but they were not all that important and still let the movie flow wonderfully. This is one of those movies that is very comforting to watch and keep you wanting to watch it over and over again. First of all, it starts out so pleasing and delightful with shots of the shire accompanied by the warm, soothing music that puts it all together. It makes it seem as if there really is such thing as the Shire in a place called Hobbiton in Middle Earth. Every single actor and actress in this film are far beyond outstanding. Especially Elijah Wood who as you probably already know, plays the haughty little hobbit, Frodo.
The flaws of this engrossing movie are not as major as I would have thought they would be. There are tons and tons of little nit-pick problems in this movie like "Sam Gamgee is too tall to be a hobbit", but they don't strike me as important. With all the time and tough effort it took and all the key points that make this movie interesting that the creators had to capture, I say that they are no flaws that come to mind without being thought of. One thing that I took to work was the camera angles in the part where Gandalf was in Bilbo's hobbit hole and Bilbo was serving him tea. You see, in the movie it looked as if Gandalf was somewhere around 8 1/2 ft. tall and bilbo looked about 5. In real life they only differ in height by about 1/2 a foot. I am not sure if that is a pro or a con.
All of the worlds that are in the first "Lord of the Rings" movie are very enchanting. The Hobbits, the Elves, the Dwarfs, every one has their own special gene to their nationality, if you could call it that. Having this story about a silly little ring may seem pointless, but J. R. R. Tolkien makes this story very thrilling and somewhat scary in his own ways. This movie deserved everything it got from the public and frankly could have deserved more. I am sure that the second movie and especially the third movies will just as great and if not, better. I would give this movie an 11, but I can only give it a 10/10.
