Lord of My Top 10 Movie List

Rating: 10/10 (29 September 2002)

The Fellowship of the Ring was one of the greatest pieces of literature ever written. Many thought it was even too great to be portrayed on the big screen. However, like always in this kind of situation, some crazy guy did it... and he did it well.
I cannot imagine how one could NOT like this movie. Maybe those who don't like the Fantasy genre, or those who just can't be entertained. There is no explanation why anyone else would not like this movie. It was just too well done. It had everything in it, and as long as it was (and believe me, it was LONG), it entertains the audience with each scene.
I also respect the fact that this movie was very true to the book. True, it did cut some scenes out, but to add every single thing in the book would make a movie TOO long. This movie left in the important stuff.
The acting speaks for itself. Sir Ian MacKellen was extremely awesome in this movie! You will bow to Gandalf in all his greatness!
This movie should have won more oscars. I have yet to see a Beautiful Mind, but I believe the Fellowship should have won Best Picture of the Year. Well, at least the Two Towers has a chance next year.
I have seen very entertaining movies, but none of them could reach the level of greatness that this movie has achieved. If you see just one movie this year, this should be it.
