time goes quickly...

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2002)

The last movie I'd been to was 90 minutes long, and it dragged. At the end of LotR I felt like I'd only been sitting there for an hour or so. It was so gee-whiz-wow that I want to see it again to confirm what I just watched. I hadn't been paying attention until it came out in theatres and people were raving about it. My son said - you'll like this one (mom) - if everyone in a group likes a certain movie, I'm usually the odd one that doesn't. Not this time - LotR:FotR was the best! It was big! It was fun! (is this next a spoiler?) I had to find some kleenex at Aragorn's farewell to Boromir. I felt dizzy falling into the pits of Isengard. I liked the ending, or rather the pause before the next one. A year seems like a long time to wait but time goes quickly when you're having fun - I'm going to read the books, and all these reviews, take it all in. good stuff.
