Forgive my shock...

...but I stepped out of the theater, and out of Middle-Earth, only a few hours ago. Seeing "Fellowship" wasn't like just "seeing a movie". In fact, it was more like a trip inside my own mind as I read the Tolkien masterpiece. Peter Jackson has created a film experience that is as invigorating as reading the "Fellowship" for the first time. I did not think it possible. The various plot changes were not sacrilegious in this purists mind and mostly they made cinematic sense. Highly recommended.
