The New Epic

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2003)

One word: Legendary
(ok maybe a few more....This film is the best visual film i have ever seen and i hope the extended DVD will be better. Hard to describe such an enjoyable film but though it has a relatively simple plot, it has enough 'eye candy' to make it amazing. A fine piece of art from Peter Jackson supported with strong roles from Aragorn and crew. Refreshing to see a very good blockbuster that is not centralised around 'overexaggerated action' but incorporates memorable characters moments around the battles. In a league of its own compared with the usual mass produced high concept Hollwood trash. Well Done to the Kiwi's!
