One of my all time favorites

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2002)

When the Lord of the Rings did not win the Academy Award for best picture, I think that it was one of the greatest glitches in Academy history. A Beautiful Mind was a good film and well acted and maybe deserved a nomination but in comparison, it was a lightweight.
I read the trilogy almost 30 years ago and was delighted to see that it was brought to the screen with so much integrity. I eagerly await seeing the Two Towers, of which I have heard to be a continuation of the same high standard. Indeed, this film may be my single all time favorite.
