Excellent Start

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

It has been a very long time since I was able to walk away from a movie and be shocked at the amount of time I have spent in the theatre. I was that engrossed. The acting is superb. The storyline (though not completely true to the book, does not deviate much) draws you in and pulls you along. (Keeping you on the edge of your see most of the time) The cinematography is gorgeous, and the costuming is perfect. If you enjoy a great fantasy movies (this surpasses Willow and LadyHawke and is probably neck and neck with Legend in my list of all time favorite fantasy movies)you must see this in the theatre. I will be there on opening day again for the second one.
