Impressive, Most Impressive

I just came back from the cinema, having watched the first part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and i must say, it's even better than i thought!
Starting with the history of the ring, this movie grabs you, and won't let go untill the end-credits.
I've read the trilogy (and the Prequel The Hobbit) a few years back, and i must say this movie follows the book perfectly.
Of course the director had to make some adjustments, but the movie never seems illogical, like some part of the also excellent cartoon has.
The characters were also cast very good. From Elijah wood as Frodo, to Gimli played by one of my favorite actors John Rhys-Davies.
The humour is also well placed and never seems forced!
I'll definitely go see this movie a second time this week, and probably a third.
Everyone who likes movies should go see this one, i took my grandmother with me, who hadn't read any of the books, and even she found it a teriffic experience.
I almost can't wait untill christmas 2002 at least we have spiderman,attack of the clones, and maybe Terminator 3 to keep us occupied this year!!
