i thought it was a comic---was i wrong!

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2002)

Twenty years ago my 12 year old son raved to the family about LOTR, and spoke incessantly of Bilbo, Frodo, Gandalf, Middle Earth Etc. To me it sounded like a serialised comic strip, and i paid no heed to it. 19 years later i was given The Fellowship in DVD, and sat down to watch. Three hours later i was totally hooked, and i still haven't read the book. I was counting the days until the release of TTT. it was way above my expectations. From the incredibly cinematography, and endearing cast, to the cgi of Gollum (amazing), it was one of the greatest cinematic experiences of all time 10/10
