A Breathtaking movie--especially if you haven't read the book

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2002)

Excellent Movie! It has everything you could ever ask for in a fantasy epic (or any other epic for that matter). I think it's even better if you've never read the book or if you haven't in a long time, because you won't have the tendency to pick on what's different or missing (which believe me...not much was left out!!)
The real star in this movie was the cinematography and the art and set decoration! UNREAL! Also...there was REAL MEAT in this movie...not just one conflict/one battle/one message. You felt like you actually LIVED in Middle Earth for 3 hours!!
The only drawback--you have to wait until NEXT YEAR to see the next chapter!! GRRR!!!! I've even read the books too!! :)
