The first 5 minutes were enough for me

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2002)

Five minutes into the film, I felt something I had never felt with any other film; I had seen enough...
I was ready to give Peter Jackson the Oscar then and there it was THAT good. Let's face it, with how many films can you, after only five minutes, say "that's enough, this film is truly something wonderful."

Jackson's capable hands have achieved a near flawless adaptation from book to film - remaining loyal to the text while bringing the legendary to life. From the epic battle scenes to the tranquil Shire to the ominous tower of Saruman. The real and surreal were blended together to create a whole new form of visual effect - ultra-reality!
This is a movie I want to see again - even though saw it only two weeks ago - it's just too long to wait for The Two Towers :-)
