As good as it gets.

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2002)

Given that this has as much a history in fantasy circles and Stars Wars has in Sci Fi circles the anticipation of the movie has been growing steadily for ages.
Simply put you could not have done it better, this rates as the best fantasy film of all time and along with Harry Potter represents a great boost for the genre that films like Dungeons and Dragons have gone a long way to dent.
The scenery is stunning, the Characters are spot on, the story lovingly recreated. It answered all my expectations and then some. My only gripe is that as films like these get longer could we not have an intermission like the days of old?
