The closest thing you'll ever see to a perfect movie

Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2002)

This is the first time in years I've seen a movie and been amazed from the start to finish. Excellent acting, scenery, special effects, costumes, direction, writing make a wonderfully charming movie. It's so easy to feel that one is apart of unique fantasy world. The characters were perfectly cast. The special effects were wonderful without any cheese. The people who worked on this movie did their homework and it shows. Tolkien being a author people worship or loathe I was unsure of how this movie would do. But even people I know who hate Tolkien seem to be enchanted by this picture. To be honest after seeing a hyped up, over rated picture as Spiderman this movie brought back my faith in big budget epics. ( So I've seen it really, really late. But better late than never.)I could rave for hours, but a paragraph is enough.
My new favorite movie A++
