A dream come true!

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2002)

Lord Of The Rings:The Fellowship Of The Ring is a dream come true.Peter Jackson has achieved something truly extroardinary:making Tolkien's marvelous characters come to life on the big screen.The love of the filmmakers for their project is apparent in every frame.The casting was phenomenal. All were excellent,with special mention going to Elijah Wood,Ian McKellen(a perfect Gandalf!),Viggo Mortensen,Sean Astin,Orlando Bloom,John Rhys Davies and Ian Holm.Ian Mckellen and Peter Jackson should have won Oscars.I'm glad Howard Shore did for his magnificent music.If there's any justice,Jackson will take a Best Director statuette for one of the remaining two films.He deserves it for having the guts to bring the beloved trilogy to the live action big screen. I can't wait till December for The Two Towers.Oh well,I'll get the Fellowship video to keep me occupied till then! 10 out of 10!
