The fantasy epic to rule them all

Rating: Null/10 (7 August 2003)

Quite simply the best fantasy film ever made. High praise? Well any movie had to go some to beat The Empire
Strikes Back for that position but in my opinion, this did a stunning
job. Great acting, script, special effects, photography, music and even
the DVD turned out to be an unmissable piece of work. Two Towers may have taken $50million more but without Ian
Holm, less McKellen and minimal Blanchett, the movie suffers as
a result. Peter Jackson and the hundreds of crew involved proved what
remarkable things can be achieved with intelligence, warmth and
heart felt film-making. A gift that keeps on giving.
