Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2002)

Truly amazing in every aspect of a film. Action, comedy, romance, spectacular effects, wonderful music, and according to my friends who have read all the books the movie was pretty close to the book versions of the story with possibly a few exceptions and all the other specific details. Golem was done excellently, and I believe the CG effects for him were unbelievable. I really can't remember the last time I saw a movie with special effects as good as this. I think it blows star wars out of the water. Do I hear 3 cheers for the Ents! Amazing! (Please excuse me if I spelled their name wrong hardcore Tolkien fans.) This movie was so great I didn't want it to end. It certainly didn't feel like 3 hours to me. I could have stayed for another 3, maybe even 4 hours...but of course I would probably need some caffeine by that point! So if you haven't seen it yet, make sure you go see it, and then see it again, and again!! Can't wait for my second viewing of the movie. Muchos props to Peter Jackson. Onward to Morodor! (again excuse me if I misspelled).
