If a twenty year old boy can cry in this film, I think anyone can. Everyone, go see Fellowship of the Ring.

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2001)

At a time in our history when evil is everywhere, and it seems hard to believe that love is overcoming, we have a story such as this to make us believe in heroes and in good overcoming evil. The Lord of the Rings makes me believe that we have a chance. This is possibly the greatest film I have ever seen. And that is saying a lot from a person who grew up loving the Star Wars and Godfather films. I have been a Tolkien fan for years. I have read the books and I visited New Zealand during the filming of FOTR. I did not see and filming or anything, but I can now I say I have been to Middle Earth 3 times now. It will always be the greatest story ever told in my opinion. It teaches me a lot about life and what we must do to live that life. I must say that this film touched me just as the book did when I read it. I needed this film now more than ever when I am unsure about my life and the road I must take. It gives me hope and faith that even if I must walk into Mordor, I will not be alone. Thank you Peter Jackson above all, and everyone else involved with this film. And of course, thank you Mr. Tolkien. I hope that wherever you are, you can see this film and be happy that some of us are keeping that hope alive.
