Imagery-great, special effects-great, the film itself-awesome

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2002)

(mild spoilers)
I don't know why everybody complains about this film being a number 3 on the top 250. I mean, its not as though the top 250 films only include straight-out dramas.
Why shouldn't the best Action/Adventure/Fantasy film be in the top 5? Because that's exactly what it is. It is probably the best Action/Adventure film I've seen...probably because it holds so much emotion.

It has everything: Humor- action- adventure- beautiful visuals and visual effects- It evokes emotions like Fear, excitement, joy, sadness-it has all kinds of themes of betrayal, loyalty, corruption, brotherhood, SACRIFICE.
The acting ensemble of the fellowship is exceptional! All players turn in stellar performances.
All in all, its the best the Action/Adventure/scifi/fantasy genre has to offer. It out-does all competitors, even the "coveted" Star Wars, in my opinion.
