Definitely, the Best Movie ever Made

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2005)

I have hated Lord of the Rings from an early age. I don't know why, but I never quite liked the idea of it. But sometime I was inspired to read the books by JRR Tolkien, and immediately recognized how wonderful the story was. It was brought to life in three movies I regret to say I never saw on the big screen, only in the comfort of a home DVD. The plot line, which carries through the previous two films, is still alive and more suspenseful than ever. You cannot describe it shortly. To shorten it, in a fantasy world "Middle-Earth" there was a magic ring created by the Dark Lord Sauron, filled with his own power and malice. It can't be used for anything good or pure, only evil and bad, and therefore must be destroyed before it falls back into the owner's hands. If it does, he will dominate and destroy Middle-Earth. The Fellowship of the Ring must destroy it.
The acting was simply magical, these people played off each other tastefully. The sets, costumes--note Eowyn's outfits and the beauty in Arwen's jewelry--and scenery, nicely set against New Zealand all were magnificent against very real special effects that give new meaning to "bring the story to life". Finally, the crew and cast both did a wonderful job. I must also add, the music by Howard Shore really ties everything together. It brings drama, suspense, brightness, and warmth to a movie that is both pleasing to the eyes and enjoyable for anyone to watch.
