Good Film

Rating: Null/10 (21 December 2001)

I wish I didn't read the book because if I didn't know what the story was about I would have enjoyed the movie even more. If you haven't read the book my advice is go see the movie first. This is a great film but I'm sure this first wave of excitement is going to die out pretty soon once all the Tolkien's fiends see it. I'm sure they are going to be upset about many things as it doesn't quite follow the book's narrative and interprets it freely in some instances. But I am also certain that The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring will receive an Oscar this year for the best motion picture. However, I wouldn't rush and push over The Godfather from the first place of the all times charts.
