The first in a line of absolute masterworks

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2005)

How can anyone disagree this is a great great work of cinema by Jackson, the stellar cast beautiful scenery and musical score along with Tolkien's language which is sheer poetry.It may be long and drawn out but that is what an epic is all about. This film does indeed enrich your life an believe me is worth all the hype. The nature and spectacular portrayal of Tolkiens books are so uniquely and incredibly brought to life it's unreal.Simply being the best first film of the best trilogy ever made.The modern day version of the old age trait of Good vs Evil has come full circle and created one of the most magical pieces of cinema of all time.
