The Big Screen Theater Experience

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

Fellowship of the Ring is, far and away, one of the most phenomenal epics I have seen in a long, long time. The grandeur of the sets, as well as the art direction have made this film an instant classic. Films like this are the very reason we go to the movie theaters. You can't experience the full effect of the film without being in a theater with a huge screen and dolby digital sound. And I haven't even mentioned yet that Jackson didn't disappoint the fans of the trilogy. Even Tolkien would be proud of this film. With the exception of a few necessary omissions due to time constraints, Jackson made the very pages of the book come to life on the screen. The acting was solid. The story was incredible. The action was stellar. The whole experience was just short of a fantastic reality. I could not say enough praises about this film. It is a must see, and it must be seen in the theater.
