Overwhelmed by special effects, but still a great movie.

Rating: Null/10 (4 January 2002)

This is the movie event of the year. I have not seen a movie this big since Titanic. This is a real gem. I hope it will win awards not because it deserves it, but because it will make it more precious. For once, a movie with no funny sidekicks to ruin the drama of this intense story. This is the real thing, perhaps the best fantasy movie to date. Of course, i am being overly enthusiastic about this experience, and i do occasionally go overboard with excitement. But let's just say that i have tried to look for flaws in this movie and hardly saw any. It surpassed my expectations.
