Ambitious, visually gorgeous movie.

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2001)

I've never read Tolkien, though I will now, after seeing this movie. The movie was visually stunning. The detail to the costumes, the sceneries and the sets is nothing less than amazing. It is action-packed, almost to excess, leaving insufficient room for deeper character development; a fact which might leave some female viewers cold. This is definitely a "guy" flick. This is by far the best sci-fi/fantasy movie I've seen in a long time.
