Go see it ! run !

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2001)

I have seen the movie last night (December 17) at the avant-premiere here in Montreal and it already figures atop my list of favorite movies of the year, the decade and maybe even the century.
The greatest strength of this marvelous piece of art is its way to make you believe in a world where orcs and trolls fight elves and dwarves and where hobbits cross the path of humans without arousing any suspicion. I mean, as I got out of the theater, I was starting to plan my next sumer vacation in Lothlorien. I just believed in the freakin' place.
Peter Jackson surpassed himself on that one. Don't you miss it in theaters while you can. I just can't wait for the next chapter in 2002.
