Best movie I have seen in years.

Rating: Null/10 (6 September 2002)

I had not read the Rings books. I saw this movie on DVD and wasn't sure what to expect. I can only comment on this as a movie, not as a comparison between book and movie. I enjoyed the movie very much. Too many times these types of movies, I mean medieval type movies, put dialog in them to appeal to the people of modern times. That type of thing ruins a movie for me. LOTR stayed true to the times and kept me interested most of the time. I got a little impatient at some of the slower scenes but overall the movie was great. I especially liked the opening montage and the scenes at the shire. I will be seeing the next two movies at the theater. Probably more than once.
