Beautiful, Brilliant, epic, breathtaking, intense

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2003)

There is not one scene in this movie where there isn't a valid reason to cry. This movie is a landmark of the movies, and this trilogy is a testament to the will to survive and surviving against impossible odds. No one could've made a better live action film adaptation of these incredible books than Peter Jackson. And no one could possibly improve on this movie -it is utterly breathtaking and flawless. It is beautiful, it is dark, it is intense, and there are uncountable moments that absolutely astonish you. If you do not like this movie, than you do not know what good filmmaking is, or you are hopelessy cynical and I pity you. This movie is magic, it's movie magic, and every frame is wonderful and sweeping and I'm not sure how anyone could not like this movie. Even if you're not a fan, you haven't read the books, and you haven't seen either of the two movies, the sheer visual spectacle can't help but amaze you. This movie deserves every tiny bit of praise it's getting, and will get, and If you don't go to see this movie, you are missing out on the film of this century, of this milennium, of all time.
