Awesome movie

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 2018)

Big fan of the book - I felt this movie started a little slow but found its pace and turned into a spectacular telling of The Godfather of fantasy books. Ian McKellen as Gandalf is fantastic. The costumes and sets and props are all spectacular. Builds a real container that the dark lord Sauron sought his ring of power and the complex web of heroes and villains who took action to help or hinder his pursuit. It's solid fantasy that pays tribute to the source material. Magnificent.
