One of the best movies ever made...

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2002)

This movie had everything that made movies great, and nothing that makes them terrible. Action, adventure, good vs. evil, love, hate, magic, swordfights, monsters & heroes. It entertained without playing to the lowest common denomitator. It made us laugh without being foolish, and made us cry without being blatant or corny. It was true storytelling, the stuff of firesides of old and legend. This movie stands as the example of what movies can be, if done properly. Mr. Lucas, if you're listening, I suggest you see this film. Many, many times. It's not to late to redeem your prequels, although a Hobbit's shoes are hard to fill...
