Truly Spectacular!

Rating: Null/10 (14 January 2002)

When I first saw the trailer for this back in August I believe, I knew that I wanted to see this film and bow was I amazed when I saw it put on screen. I regret on not reading the books before hand (I'm reading them now) but who cares? I was utterly amazed at the amazement of everything presented and from start to finish, it utterly awed me. True it may not be exactly like the book that was written but the thing is, no movie is. Besides, if Jackson went purely by the book, it would not be the same thing. It would have probably been longer and more boorish. The movie left me wordless on what I had seen but now I would have to say that it was one of the best films I have ever seen. I left the theater excited to see what would happen next and I know that I will be gong to see the rest of the movie. 10 stars!
