Almost perfect....... nitpickers beware

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2001)

Film, to me, is entertainment.
Sometimes it can also educate or even allow me to let my thoughts take me to other places hitherto forgotten.
But when it comes right down to it, was my 5 quid well spent? In many cases, yes, because unlike many of the complete film nuts in this world, who cannot help themselves but disassemble, analyse, and criticise all material, I go to HAVE FUN.
LOTR: Pt1 succeeds in almost every way it could, and for that alone, I cannot bring myself to nitpick.
Casting was, like Harry Potter, inspired and perfect; the scenery was incredible; the atmosphere truly other-worldly and the music superb.
It was all I hoped it could be, and simply can't wait for December 2002, when this will all happen, all over again.
10/10..... of course
