It begins

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2006)

One of the greatest movie series of all time begins here. At first I thought this movie was, well, you know, boring. But I forced myself to keep sitting through this again and again, and I can't believe I ever thought of this brilliant movie as boring. Sure, it can get a little slow sometimes, but you show me a movie that doesn't have its slow moments. I can't believe this didn't win best picture. This may be the worst of the trilogy, but does that make it a bad movie? No. Hell no. The two towers and the return of the king are better, sure, but this is still a great movie. Ian McKellen clearly deserved his nomination for best supporting actor. It's a shame he didn't win it though. Look at all the people that voted 10's and 9's for this movie and that should give you and idea how good it is.
