Tolkien would be proud!

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2004)

I said it before and I shall venture to say it again, Peter Jackson, thank you for making my fantasy a reality. I have never seen any film so visually stunning, a cast so immensely beautiful, nor a director as captivating. Peter Jackson is the Lord of the Cinema! Ronald would be proud to know his books have been turned into a cinematic dynasty. As a loyal reader of Tolkien for the past 15 years, I can say that these films have touched me very deeply. I can honestly say that I have never been so delighted to see the world of Middle-Earth brought to life in this manner. I have seen the animated versions of "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" and was vehemently disappointed at both of them. However, the Peter Jackson live-action version is the only version there needs to be. To the following people: Sean Astin, Billy Boyd, Sean Bean, Viggo Mortensen, Dominic Monaghan, Miranda Otto, Brad Dourif, Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Liv Tyler, Cate Blanchett, Marton Csokas, Craig Parker, Elijah Wood, Karl Urban, David Wenham, Hugo Weaving, Bernard Hill, John Noble, Andy Serkis, John Rhys-Davies, Orlando Bloom, Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Phillipa Boyens, The WETA team, and New Line Cinema thank you for making Middle-Earth a reality.
And to the family of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, I cannot express my gratitude enough for letting these films be made. Thank you...
