Not about 9/11

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2013)

Wow what a flick, totally was not expecting this. Hobbits? Elves? Giant eye towers? What even the heck!!1??? I rented this from my local video store ("Local Video Store" in Newark) expecting to see an insightful retelling of the 9/11 events. No dice. What I got was a grade-A spectacle to the senses directed by skeeter Jackson. Not sure what this film was based on and there might have been another movie before it, but I did pick up on a couple of allusions to the Warren Commission's report. This was literally enthralling as I feel that the Warren Commission never got much recognition and wouldn't expect it to have influenced a film in the mythical realm. Trill, nonetheless.
At one point a couple of the hobbit guys and a bunch of talking trees come up to a large, steel tower and aren't sure how to topple it. Fuel and airborne aluminum projectiles are not a feasible option because this is like mid-evil times, but that couldn't have possibly brought it down anyhow. Instead they throw some rocks an stuff at it, but can't knock it down. They settle for breaking a dam instead and it's kinda rad. Then there's the other crew which is a man and some minorities and they are chasing after other hobbits who are carrying a weapon that is capable of mass destruction. This is their excuse for pursing said hobbits and not helping with the tower. I guess I should mention that there is a whole lot going on at one time. The good guys that we are following have had a beef with the bad guys (orcs, some snitch wizard, and a giant eye that's on fire) for a long time and want their land a resources as their own.
I don't want to spoil too much so I'll stop there, but wow! what a movie. I really like it, 10 stars all the way. Watch it if you can. Hell stop by my place if you're in Newark and give it a view with me.
