Just what we imagined when we role-played.

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2006)

I had read this book when I was a preteen, and realized a new world of fantasy. I throughly enjoyed reading the entire series and have spent the rest of my life looking for anything as good. So imagine my surprise and delight when the movies were announced, I awaited the release of FOTR with great anticipation. Well I wasn't disappointed, as a follower of the fellowship, I had enjoyed the earlier released animated movies but this live version blew me away. I enjoyed myself so much seeing the exploits of my childhood heroes. As I sat there with my wife I could think of only one thing, "This is exactly what we (My brother Jaime) and I had envisioned when we role-played at AD&D. Even my wife (who as we watched kept asking... "Now who are they?) got into this movie, and she doesn't really watch fantasy or Sci-Fi. I know all three of these movies have already come and gone from theaters, but I can still sit down with the DVD or watch it on TV and get completely lost in the world of Middle Earth. Long Live The King!!!
