A genuine epic

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2002)

"Fellowship of the Ring" is a marvellous film. Peter Jackson has taken the Tolkien books to his heart, and has transferred it to film in a way that stays as true as possible to the story, whilst making it accessible to anyone who has never read Lord of the Rings.
As a Tolkien fan I can easily forgive him for the changes he must have been forced to make, because he has produced a work that is fascinating, exciting and in some places genuinely frightening. My only frustration is that I will have to wait a year before seeing the next 'episode'.
Because of the method of making these films, I feel I can be certain that "The Two Towers" will be every bit as good as this one.
Well done Mr. Jackson, I thank you for your vision.
