An incredible ride through a fantasy world with adventure that never stalls!

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

I will have to say that maybe, maybe, you have to be a fan of sorcery and magic to appreciate this movie, but I say anyone with an imagination and a taste for adventure will thoroughly enjoy FOTR. From the moment the movie started I was at aww with everything that graced the screen. I felt as though I was a little kid again as I sat on the edge of my seat, trying not to blink, in anticipation of what may come next. The visual aspect of FOTR is breathtaking. Your fantasy has become reality by using the wonders of CGI. Let me just say that Ian McKellen (Gandolf) is absolutely amazing. He draws you into the story and has you wishing you could be just as "magical" as he is. Yes, it is three hours, but it is three hours of adventure from start to finish. You leave the theater wanting more and wishing you were three and a half feet tall, or had pointed ears, or had a long grey beard. Any way you look at it, this is one of the best stories ever written and it has gone down in my book as one of the best movies I have ever seen.
