An Outstanding Attention Getter!!!

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2002)

Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, is easily in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. My sisters both had read the books in high school, but I have yet to read them. Since I hadn't read the books, I wasn't interested in seeing the movie and heard it was 3 hours long which turned me away even more. My family practically forced me to go see it and I was thoroughly impressed with the movie. If I checked my watch for the time, it was because I wanted to know if there was a lot of action left. I think that the storyline is fantastic and I am anxious to read the books, just so I can find out what's next without having to wait another year and a half for the movie. I think that the cast was well-chosen and I thought the special effects were superb. I am excited about seeing how the rest of the series turns out.
