Fermat's Last Theorem

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2001)

Having read jrrt in my early childhood, i had (and still do) considered them personal "property". I was, therefore, present world-premiere day ready to criticize the attempt to make this story popular domain.
I was, simply, flabbergasted. Jackson approached the book with the view of a true disciple. He focused on the characters and not the effects. He introduces Tyler's character in the first "book", because she will play a pivotal point throughout the saga. He removed fight sequences, that would probably be more pleasant to audiances (e.g. hobbits fight with the vampires in the cemetery), and even alters plot (Frodo's escape from the Dark Knight was not assisted by the "rafting" hobbits), i.o.t. provide insight into the relationships of the fellowship. This is the core of jrrt's saga: united we stand, divided we fall. I left feeling like how Andrew Wiles would have felt after solving Fermat's Last Theorem, like been 15 yrs old again. Thank you Mr. Jackson for making my favorite book into an equally favorite movie.
