A must see movie

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

From the moment I saw the stills, I knew that Peter Jackson had created images that had bounced around my head for the last 20 years. I just had to see this one and was not disappointed. Every character, every set,every effect is just how you play the book in your head.
I salute Peter Jackson for finally giving us all what we needed. Lord of the Rings has never been able to be fulfilled by mediocre special effects or animation but gentlemen, we have the technology...
For those few who have not read the book, this film invites you to be entertained and it never fails to deliver on any level.
The visuals, sounds and pace are perfect. The humour is distributed just when you need it and it even made me cry! I don't HAVE to see this film again - I NEED to. I don't have the words to say just how brill this movie is - just go and see it and then you'll know what I mean.
