An instant classic

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2001)

GO SEE THIS MOVIE!
From the opening to the end, this was an all together entertaining experience. This (and I assume the entire trilogy) will be considered a classic.
Young children may find some of the scenes a little intense. Those same children may find 3 hours a long time to sit still too.
Warning! The movie ends just like the book! So, if you haven't read the book(s) and you're a little miffed at the ending; go get the trilogy - you won't be sorry.
I've read the books and found deviations entirely excusable. However, I could have (and would have) gone to see this movie if it were over 4 hours long.
Have fun!
