It's nice to be able to escape our world for 3 hours and visit someplace magical.

At first I did not think that I would enjoy this movie. I had never read the books nor had any idea what the story was about and to be quite honest I really don't like movies that make me have to think too much. But I figured "Oh well, if anything the special effects must be good". Within seconds I was completely drawn into the story. It was beautiful visually and the story line was intriguing. I actually began to care about these fictional beings. I felt as if I were traveling with them on this heroic journey and I found myself applauding their victories and mourning their defeats. Like I said, "I usually don't watch these kind of movies", but now I cannot wait until the next chapter of this story is told. I truly enjoy being able to lose myself for a few hours and enter into a fantasy world full of hope and wonder before having to enter back into reality. I thank all of you who brought this beautiful story to life.
