Soak it in....!!!

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2001)

There is no need for me to analyze this movie in full detail. Everyone else can do that.
Suffice it to say, this is a BIG movie. A lot of people go to a lot of places and do a lot of things, and only have three hours to do it. By the time its over you find yourself a little exhausted, but dying to see The Two Towers (Part 2).
As time passes I find myself liking this movie more. While watching it scene-by-scene, you think some stuff is great, and some stuff is just okay. But once you have the chance to really step back from it all and soak it in AS A WHOLE, you realize how truly grand and magnificent this film is.
The movie is often violent, but not really gory. Its not sugarcoated. It isn't for young children. But if you have a 10-12 year old boy PLEASE take them to see this, so they can grow up with the enchantment and memories that many of us experienced with Han Solo, Darth Vader and the gang.
Don't hold all the Burger King promotions and non-stop TV ads against this movie. It is a great, large adventure. Go see it on the big screen...at least once.
