A miracle.

Rating: Null/10 (16 February 2004)

The first chapter in the LotR trilogy is unlike anything I have ever seen before! It captures just about every emotion that you could want in a film: wonder, love, humor, terror, adventure, drama, etc.! This is truly one of the most awe-inspiring movies ever made! The cinematography is sweeping, the storyline is beautifully constructed, and the acting is flawless! There is no weak link in this cast! Ian McKellen gives one of the year's best performances. He IS Gandalf! The rest of the (enormous) cast deserve recognition as well.
Much credit to Peter Jackson, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the rest of the production company for making this miracle of a movie possible!
