Absolutely Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2002)

The Lord of Rings was perhaps the most pleasurable movie-going experience of my life. Having read the book before seeing the movie, I had great appreciation for the story, and had been awaiting the movie with bated breath for months before its release. It did not disappoint. The movie captured almost every aspect of the book, save a few minor details not relative to the main plot, and the beautiful scenes of the shire, and Rivendell, and Amon Hen, combined with the emotionally stirring soundtrack, came together so marvelously to create my new favorite film. Kudos to Peter Jackson. I can't wait for Two Towers.
