Finally Movie Magic Again!

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2003)

I was 10 when I saw star wars and that amazed me to no end. I am now 35 and have for many years been left wanting for the same cinematic experience but to no real avail. This may sound a bit harsh as there has been some excellent work since but none really had reached the same level of emotion in me. Now I am glad to say that Lord of the rings has done it again for me and it has been a real and rare treat that each movie has been better than the previous. You can tell the difference when a movie is intended for a mature audience, Lord of the Rings is mainly for adults whereas Harry Potter and all the star wars films were targetted at kids/teens. The dialogue is not cheezy either and presents a solid story that is easy to follow (but not quite as good as the book though)
Kudos to Peter Jackson and all who worked on this film and also to JRR Tolkien for a truely legendary story. Its a long movie and make sure you dont have to leave for a quick visit to the bathroom as you will most likely miss something important.
Bring on King Kong, Bring on The Hobbit!
