Completely blew me away

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2002)

Finally got to a cinema last night to see this incredibly hyped movie.

As somebody who doesn't normally warm to the Fantasy or even Science Fiction genre as I walked into the cinema I was wondering if I was about to add another 3 hours to my "waste of time" file.
Well what can I say now except that I was completely blown away by this film.
The three hours went by very quickly and I didn't look at my watch once (a sure sign of a good film experience for me). In fact, I didn't really want it to end.

As I sat in total awe of this movie experience I couldn't help but wonder if it's creator was the same Peter Jackson who directed the cheesy but nice "Bad Taste" movie (the last PJ movie I think I've seen).

So to borrow a well worn movie cliche, if you only see one movie this year, make it this one!
