spectacular

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2001)

The absolute best movie of the year, stunning both visually and emotionally. The scenes in Moria and of the Argonath are breathtaking. I can't believe I have to wait another year to see the next installment.
One disagreement on interpretation though: Galadriel and Lothlorien were *so* much darker than in the books. I did not get the impression that Lothlorien was a place the Fellowship would not want to leave and Galadriel was very ambiguous. Also, I just can't make myself like Liv Tyler.
But beyond this, a wonderful and thrilling adventure. Can't wait to see the Ents! Oh, and to the guy with the really long comment on the combined details page: Girls do NOT need a romance to make us sit through a movie. We just need an Aragorn ;) kidding!
