a movie for many generations to worship

Rating: Null/10 (20 December 2001)

Ok, This film had it all. The actors were the actual characters they were portraying. The soundtrack gave you that feeling in your gut that kept you awake and wishing you were the heroic figures in the film. The accents of all the characters were so real. The fight scenes were fantastic. Liv Tyler was a babe. Viggo was your classic hero with a dark edge. The ringraiths were scary and PERFECTLY made. The effects in general were sooo damn good that you could honestly not tell that they were CGI. Especially the Gollum character. I thought this guy was claymation or something because he actually looked like he was really there. The effects in this film made the effects from star wars look like amateur stuff.not that star wars ain't good, but here the effects are part of the story, not ADDED to the story. Anyway, GANDALF I have nothing to say, Ian WAS GANDALF no question about it, even though in some scenes, the nose looked a bit darker than the rest of his face (hhahah). The hobbits being shorter than the rest of the cast.how the hell did they do that? At first I had a feeling that Elijah Wood was a bad choice for Frodo, but after the first 40 minutes I knew they had done a GREAT choice.
Wow.I could go on and on for hours. The thing I liked most about the film, was that I already knew the story and was like 'ok, so I'm going to see a book I've read.but NO..the film was so damn good, I felt like I was enjoying the tale for the first time. The Moria scenes were OUTSTANDING.wow..hahah I can go on forever! The dwarf rocked! And LEGOLAS!!! MY GOD HE WAS SOOOOO DAMN COOL!!! Didn't do much talkin..but his eyes and movements especially in combat made you wish you were him! Anyway.the only flaw in the film, was the fact that in the end, you wanted to sit through for another six hours and see the whole thing to the end. This movie was amazing. The story of the rings is amazing. I just wish Peter Jackson could continue making big movies like this after the trilogy because he has a talent at making GREAT films..even BRAINDEAD and FRIGHTNERS were amazing in their own way and themes. The guy knows how to make A good film. HAIL TO PETER JACKSON!!!
