Simply mindblowing

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2002)

Quite simply Fellowship of the Ring is a landmark moment in cinema. Having taught high school English for over 10 years and having read the book more than six times I have been anticipating this for years. Sure Peter Jackson focuses on action over characterisation but he must keep the story moving. I have loved his movies particularly Braindead, Meet the Feebles and the haunting Heavenly Creatures, but this just blows them away.The complainers over the voting scores need to get a life. Who cares if Fellowsip is outpointing the Godfather. Both are great movies. The voting is by cinemagoers. Each person has their own preference.If you have yet to see the Fellowship of the Ring, just do it. The scope of the movie is far beyond anything ever put on film. It is made with rare passion and feeling beyond the abilities of modern day Hollywood.10/10.
