Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2002)

When i went to see this movie, i hadn't read the book. I had tried several times, but could never get past the first 3 chapters, and i never really caught on to the story. However, if you think that would make me less interested, you are wrong. This is the most incredible movie i have ever seen! Often, movies of books are really poor, or rely on the success of the book to translate into money at the box office, but LOTR was a fantastic movie in its own right. It inspired me to read the books, and i cant wait for the Two Towers to come out! (PS: I think it was a debarcle that it didn't win any academy awards, especially losing best adapted screenplay to a Beautiful Mind, and Best Director to Ron Howard. The Academy have proved beyond all doubt, that their collective brain power is about the same as the South American jumping flea.)
