Quite simply the best film I have seen

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2002)

I was wondering how good this film would be, whether it would follow the book or gloss over important parts, but it was true to the book at least as much as film can be.
The characters were colourful and passionate and the story spellbinding. The film shows humour, courage, sadness and joy. The scenery was breathtaking and the action fast and furious.
When I left the cinema I felt deperate that I had to wait another year for the second part and a further year after that for the final part.
