THE BIGGEST, LONGEST AND SIMPLY GREATEST FILM EVER MADE!!

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2004)

THE LORD OF THE RINGS changed my life. When the first one came out in December 2001 I didn't even bother to see it. From the looks of the trailer this was just another fantasy film, which I by the way don't like very much. so I didn't see the first one until I borrowed it from a friend who just got it, this was in September I think 2002. I saw the film and knew right after the first scenes that this is a film to remember. And it was just then I found out that this was just the first film of three and that it was based upon an old book. My mom happened to have an old copy from 1973, but I didn't want to read it cause then I would spoil the next films.I give it 6/6 stars.
When THE TWO TOWERS came out in December the same year I just had to see it. I got to say I had high hopes for this one and I was not disappointed, not by a long shot. This one was even better than the last one. I like realistic pictures right, so it seemed as this one was a lot more realistic than the first. THE TWO TOWERS was very medieval. The new Riders of Rohan and king Theoden were very medieval. And like every good medieval film it featured a battle. A very impressive one too. Ya know, if I gave the first one 6/6 stars and I think this one is better, what should I give it? Actually I give it 7/6 stars.
After waiting an entire year for the final piece of the puzzle. I go to the movies expecting a phenomenal film, actually the best film ever. And I can tell you THE RETURN OF THE KING is perfect. it made my cry. In fact in multiple parts of the film.I give this one 8/6 stars. Final result: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING + THE TWO TOWERS + THE RETURN OF THE KING = THE BIGGEST, LONGEST AND SIMPLY GREATEST FILM EVER MADE!!
I consider it the best, but I'm not alone. This film (it's actually one film just in three parts) made almost 3 billion dollars, earned 17 Academy Awards + multiple other awards around the globe, and is probably the film with the most Fans, if not STAR WARS have more. THE LORD OF THE RINGS changed my life, I've gotten a lot more in to film, I saw movies like LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, GANDHI, DOCTOR ZHIVAGO, SEVEN SAMURAI and I've also started watching Scorsese films, Robert De Niro is my favourite actor and now I'm making amateur films with friends. + it even got me to read more.
Final summary: Just don't you dare miss it!
P.S. Remember to buy the long versions, or should I say the real versions. The theatrical versions should really be called the short versions. Remember this is not a 9 hour film it's a 12 hour film!
