The granddaddy of fantasy stories.

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2002)

If elements of Lord of the Rings seem familiar to you, it is because other books and movies have borrowed heavily from LotR. To have covered every scrap of material from Fellowship of the Ring would have made it not 3 but probably about 9 hours long all by itself.
Lord of the Rings is, without question, the book of the 20th century. If any novel of the 20th century is still read 500 years from now, it will be LotR.
This was an excellent movie. It's a shame that when something comes along with actual depth it goes over some people's heads. It definately isn't "kid stuff".
