Awe-inspiring

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2002)

I just got back from seeing this movie and to be honest, I am going to have a hard time saying anything but .. "Holy sh....."..
As I am partial to the fantasy genre and Tolkein is of course, the uber-master of such, this may be my favorite movie ever.. I can't think of a single thing negative to say about this movie..
Scenery.. Amazing..
Character Performances.. Deep.. Perfect.. Liv Tyler is amazing in her all-to-brief roles.. John Rhys-Davis is great and for us fantasy fans, he's now the epitome of a dwarf..
Battle Scenes.. Even Private Ryan didn't achieve this level, even relative to its own genre..
One idea for Mr Jackson.. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider bringing DRAGONLANCE to the screen after you are done with Tolkien and a well-deserved rest.. If only I could get a note to him.. If you like the fantasy genre, READ THAT SERIES.. I believe it to be the 2nd most influential fantasy series ever..
