This is the sort of movie you can watch a 1.000 times

Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2017)

I have given this movie the rating of 10 because it is one of the few movies ever made that has a good plot, great acting, great cgi, great music and use of locations.
The movie is quite long so if it was not for me actually finding landscapes and places seen in the film interesting i would fall a sleep. Because there is a lot of walking and a lot of time used on showing these landscapes.
I think it is hardly possible to make a better start than depicted in this movie. It tells you the most essentiel stories to understand the plot and enjoy the movie.
The plot pretty much follows the one from the books. there is some small modifications in which was more realistic than it would be to follow the book. for an example i can't really see how it would be essentiel for the movie to see the Hobits walk in the forrest and meeting a sort of wizard, that would tell them to go to Bree. The movie has the most important scenes from the book and it pays out well.
I think all characters showed nothing less than their very best and it made it much easier to follow the story and feel the atmosphere and feelings in the movie.
The cgi is superbly used in this movie. There is not to much and what is used is used splendidly. The cgi is well used in the making of Mordor and Moria not to mention the Balrog and the eye.
The usage of music is hardly found better in any other movie. The way it lays a tune and sets the mood still surprises me and really no other movies have done that. for an example when our main characters run out of Moria after just having lost their companion Gandalf. The way the music lays the mood in this scene is just superb. Not to mention the music for the ending is quite fitting for the movie.
The use of the landscape is extremely well used. The way they show us the landscape of the country New Zealand is extraordinary. We have a lot of landscape motion clips from above to just truly show us what a great place middle earth is.
overall i love this movie and give it a 10/10. i have watched this movie about a 100 times and loved it 90 of the times. i have read the books after seeing the movies a lot of times and i must say i prefer what Jackson changed from the book. If you haven't watched it yet, WTF are you then waiting for?
