Wow...... Pretty much superb.

Rating: 10/10 (11 September 2004)

A few years ago, I was into really gory horror films (still am now), and one that I saw was braindead. I thought it was brilliant and funny, and the direction was superb - it was my best movie ever. Fast forward to the year 2000, and I read this story - the lord of the rings. I loved the book, I was 20 at the time, and heard that the film was coming out - and guess who was directing it - the director of my favourite film ever - Braindead - yep, it was peter Jackson. I was a wee bit excited, to say the least, and the film didn't disappoint. The direction is the same style as braindead - novel approaches and amusing angles, but I was worried it wouldn't be taken seriously due to Peter Jacksons' previous films. I find the films very close to the book - though not exactly as the books are (Tom Bombadil being someone who should have been included in FOTR).
The Special effects are superb, and you can tell the actors enjoyed making the film. I love all the films, and give them a worthy 10/10. Well done Mr. Jackson!!!!
