Simply Great

I think I watched fellowship a million times this past week getting ready. Im also in the process of moving houses...so my mother has been quite mad at me for totally ignoring this life and fading into middle earth. And finally yesterday I saw it, ....and goodness.
Lets just say that Im blown away, I dont know if I can watch fellowship again without owning two towers to watch directly after it =)....I love fellowship dearly, but I have now made extra room for this new installment.
I just love the beauty of these films. They way that Jackson films them, the way the actors really aren't actors. Im convinced that Viggo is really Aragorn. That they just shipped him in from Gondor. I really think Middle Earth exist now, thanks Peter Jackson, you've made me loose my sanity. =)
I really really loved Legolas in this film, and not just because he is good looking, I just love Elves. And Gimli was really funny. Everyone on here has kind of been down on the whole gimli punchline, but I didn't think it was too bad, I really did laugh a lot and its good to laugh when you think all the characters you love are going to certain death.
Im in the process of reading the books, still only on fellowship, so I dont quite know the differences in this installment and its book, but I dont mind them, for I know they wont be tooo many. I just thought this movie was very very entertaining.
The last hour my friend said I had this look of total immersement. I think that is what Jackson's purpose was. To immerse his viewers into this world.
Thank You Jackson and all the cast......now do we really have to wait another year for the next one?
