STUPENDOUS!

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2002)

To anyone who is familiar with Tolkien's masterpiece of fantasy, Lord of the Rings, this movie is a gift. Jackson has captured the spirit of this profoundly religious work--so much so that you don't even notice some of the details of the book that are missing. The fact that the movie is so universally popular is wonderful.
I sat entranced throughout the picture watching the actors, the beautiful, on-location scenery, the panorama of the story unfold before me in a magical, wonderful fashion.
I could tell that the actors were playing their roles with belief in their hearts.
I think this is the best movie I've ever seen, and I have seen some good ones.
Amazing!
