A wonderful experience roll on next December

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2001)

Having read the book two or three times, how could one hope for a director to get such good detail into a film just three hours long. The Hobbits were wonderful, so realistic, the scene as you entered Hobbiton for the first time brought a lump to my throat.I felt I had been there, it was so familiar. The New Zealand scenery was stunning, the mines of Moria stunning, however it wasn't just about visual effects, the performances by Gandalf, Aragorn, Boromir, Frodo, Sam all were stunning and at times so captivating and emotional. I sat there at the end of the film wishing my life forward to December 2002.
