Epic

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 2008)

As i go back and review all the movies i have seen so far in my life i had to write this one first. This is probably one of my favorite movies ever since i first saw it, it had been my favorite. I want to look in depth at this film and find out why i like it so much.
After the first film i was excited to see what Peter Jackson could do to my favorite book of the series. The movie starts with Frodo and Sam lost and circling in the same area. They run into gollum, which is one of the best cgi created characters. He leads them out and into the dead marshes.That story continues up until they get out of Osgilioth. They meet Farimir and the rangers, they go to Osgilioth and then head towards the staircase, thats where they where that part of the story ends, but during this time several other stories are intwined. The stroy of Merry and Pippen who are captured by the Uru-kai and then run into the forest and meet treebeard and they try to convince the ents to attack Saruman and help fight the war. Also during this time it follows Aragorn Legolas and Gimli who try to find the hobbits bu meet with Gandalf who is a white wizard after his near death expirence they head to Rohan and free King Theoden from Sarumans wrath and flee to helms deep to fight Sarumans forces. This is the best part of the movie a roughly 45 minute long battle, witch is a massive siege its really cool. I love this movie.
