The Best Movie of the Year!

Rating: 10/10 (13 September 2002)

Simply put. This film is nothing short of mind-blowing. Peter Jackson is a genius for being able to give life to the greatest epic in modern literature. Perfect scenery, camera angles, the right dialogue, everything in this movie is perfect.
When I first saw the previews, I thought this would be another one those hyped-up-movies-that-turns-out-to-garbage movies. Then, I saw the movie. OH MY GOD. It was told in great detail. Everything I imagined from the book turned out to be exactly on target. The excitement, the suspense, the emotion, and of course, J.R.R. Tolkien's unforgettable and amazing story. It all came together to create The Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring. I am dying for the next movie, and from what I see, No. 2 will NOT be another one of those hyped-up-movies-that-turns-out-to-be-garbage movies.
