A Flawless Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2002)

To be quite honest, I wasn't too keen on watching this movie coz of all the hype surrounding it..don't get me wrong! It's just that too many movies of late have failed to live up to my expectations after generating heaps of buzz. So, at the end of the movie tonight, I was just taken aback by the flawless masterpiece that Peter Jackson has created! With credible actors, superb locations and a great visual style, the fantasy truly springs to life! It is everything that I imagined it would be like and even more so. The acting, the costumes, the sound, the action, the music, were all perfect. Even the three hour length didn't bother me! I simply cannot wait for the next instalment in the trilogy. Knowing that Peter Jackson has already filmed all three movies, I am consumed with curiousity for him to release it sooner than Christmas 2002:-) I do hope this wins a heap of Oscars, coz it truly is the best fantasy film I have seen to date and my faith in movies has been restored again..at least for the present time being!
