Epic reincarnation of Tolkien's classic

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2002)

Peter Jackson has done the unthinkable and given the public a true, honest and mindbending look into J.R.R Tolkien's marvel. Having read the book 3 months prior to the film's opening, I was astounded by the magnitude of the novel. The characters, plot and surroundings were so realistically set-out it made you belive you were there. I was therefore skeptical and a bit nervous when I heard that they were adapting it onto the silver screen. What deepened my fears was that Peter "Bad Taste" Jackson was at the helm and that they were going to film the entire trilogy at the same time.

But, after being astounded throughout the 3 hour epic, my fears have been laid to rest. The casting was spot on and the settings were astonishing. Everything about The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, is epically proportioned and brilliantly carried out. How could anyone give it lower than 10 out of 10. I certainly couldn't and hope none of you will either.
