Best movie of the year

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2002)

Honestly I wasn't that big of a Tolkien fan when I decided to see Fellowship of the Ring. But any three hour fantasy movie should be good. After a year of disappointing movies, I hoped this one would be good, and damn it was. What surprised me was how well everything worked. The actors were great, the direction was sheer awesome, the effects were excellent, etc. There was nothing wrong with this movie. Sure they took some liberties with the story and cut out some parts, but it was just to make it look better in my opinion. I can't wait till the next movie comes out.
