captures spirit

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2002)

Peter Jackson has achieved a masterpiece... I think it's a crime this movie was only recognized on the technical front at the Academy awards. This movie's got everything... action, drama, comedy. The effects are amazing, and unlike some other recent big movies, the acting is stellar as well. The casting is outright amazing, don't think I'll ever be able to picture anyone else in any of these roles. The movie, while not a literal interpretation, captures the spirit of the Tolkien books absolutely.
Can't wait for the DVD...
