Such a powerful movie

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2002)

While walking through a department store in November of 2001, I heard what sounded to be beautifully orchestrated music. I looked up at the screen and saw Lord of the Rings. That was the first I ever saw of it. I knew by the music that the movie would be great. I bought the soundtrack and just fell in love with it. A month later, I went to the theatre with some friends to see Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. 3 hours later, I wanted more. This movie was one of the most wonderful movies I've seen in a long time. I didn't like the way it had ended, because I wanted more. I didn't want it to end. Let me tell you all that if you want a movie to capture you, drag you in, then this is the movie for you. 3 hours may seem like a long time but believe me, you'll never knew 3 hours past. That's how great this movie is.
I went in not reading the books, but I knew a little about LotR from watching the Ralph Bakshi's animated version of the films. It just blew me away. The acting was superb. It was like everyone was born for their parts. It didn't get way too cheesy, or way too dramatic.
The movie may have already ran it's theatrical run, but August 6th, 2002, you can experience it again and again. I know I'll be picking my copy up that day. How about you?
10/10
