unbelievable...

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2002)

I can't even begin to describe how fantastic this film is. Jackson stays remarkably true to the book, but of course in the interest of brevity some scenes needed to be cut. And no book-based film is going to please everyone. However, I've read the book and am blown away by the way this movie brought the characters to life... and I know several people who haven't read the book and loved it as well. Either way this was a daring venture, and I am overjoyed to see the movie doing as wonderfully as it is. Go see it!
