simply amazing

Rating: 10/10 (18 October 2003)

there is an amazing cast (Ian Mckellen, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Bean to name a few), action, the cave troll scene being a particular highlight, comedy in the form of merry and pippin and romance. it is also a movie that really provokes emotion,Boromir's death and the end sequence with Frodo and Sam are very sad and emotional, there are also happy moments such as the hobbiton party. basically it is everything a movie should be, Peter Jackson and co did an amazing job with the screen play, it could have been too simplistic or it could have been too complicated, they managed to get it in the middle. as far as i can see judging by my friends it appeals to anyone, regardless of what sort of movie they normally like, it has something for everyone
