All I can say is "Wow!"

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2001)

Outstanding, both in visual spectacle and gripping tale. I've never read the books, so I can't speak to the film's faithfulness to the original material, but the film was simply one of the best I've ever seen. First time I've ever given any movie a "10." See it, then you decide. A shoo-in for Best Costume Design, and maybe other little golden men as well.
