A true classic.

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2002)

I believe LOTR is one of the best movies made in recent years. As a fan of the classic movies I've long thought that the modern film industry has gone at least somewhat off course. If it follows the lead of LOTR it will be on its way back. It was refreshing to see a movie like this.
Never having read the books, I did find the plot somewhat hard to follow the first time I saw it. That would be the movie's weakness. But it has most everything that makes a great film--adventure, action, plot, scenery, effects, good acting,etc.
I'm anxiously awaiting The Two Towers. I believe the LOTR trilogy will become a true classic.
