THE LORD OF THE RINGS
STARRING: ELIJAH WOOD, SIR IAN MCKELLAN, VIGGO MORTENSEN, LIV TYLER, AND CATE BLANCHETT

We never thought when "Star Wars" came out that there'd be a movie with even MORE special effects and scenery then that one... but we were proved wrong. Based on the wonderful written book by J.R.R Tolkien, this story is about one little hobbit, 3 of the hobbits' hobbit friends, 1 really hairy dwarf, one hot elf, one really old tall magician, 2 humans and a ring on a quest to kill one of them. That one being the ring. This movie truly is a precious jewel - with amazing cinematography, makeup, costumes, backdrops and visual effects that a movie has had. The acting, above all things, was what made the movie ingenious. The directing, the imagination that Peter Jackson has put into this film, really is seen in the long 3 hours of this masterpiece. It may not be one of the best films of all time in many people's opinion's, but it does deserve it's place somewhere in film history.

I give this film ***** stars out of *****.
