I truly thought this movie was one of the best Epic movies I have seen in a few years. What can I say about this movie! I was truly speechless with how well it turned out. Yes the story was different in parts from the book, but in a whole it followed rather well. I have read the books, and I like them, but I knew from the beginning that there would be some changes.

I thought the acting was top notch. Everyone did a fantastic job on the acting. By the end of the movie you come to love the characters and feel for the sorrows and joys. The scenery was incredible. For 3 hours you believe New Zealand becomes Middle Earth and the man-made sets were great. The pacing of the movie was perfect, a little slow at the beginning to set up the movie, but after that it has a wonderful flow to it. I feel Jackson did a wonderful job with the details. It could have been easy to let things slide but he didn't. The Soundtrack compliments the movie wonderfully. The Special effects were top notch and enhance the movie and don't overdue it. Combine the special effects with a great story and you have one of the best movies to come out in a few years.

I truly believe that the Lord of the Rings will Rule the Box Office for the next three years. I will take Elves and Orcs over Jedi and Clones any day. This is a movie that fans of the books, and newcomers will enjoy. Lord of the Rings is truly Lord of the Films for this year.

10/10

I must admit I wasn't expecting much on this movie. I was surprised I truly enjoyed it as much as I did. The script wasn't oscar material, but it wasn't horrible either. The acting was great by Mark Wahlberg. Jennifer Aniston had a great supporting role, and looked lovely as ever. What made this movie for me was the music. If you do not like 80's glam metal or hair bands, then you probably wont like this movie. Its all about being a rockstar. Some cliche's were present, but didn't bring down the movie at all. I would recommend it to anyone who likes rock and roll and remember to Stand up and Shout!!! 8 of 10 for great acting and awesome music.

I was shocked over how good this movie is, and how little hype or recommendations I have gotten from friends to see it. This movie makes a person sit back and think and see if we really want Science to progress further and further for Genome sequencing, and Genetics in general.

This film was beautifully filmed with wonderful colors and settings. For taking place in the not so far future, the sets I believe where dead on. There was a sense of advancement, but at the same time rigid guidelines for society, workers, and buildings . Acting on all parts I thought was great. Jude Law and Ethan Hawke gave great performances. Uma Thurman was beautiful as ever and gave another strong performance. Little special effects which sets the movie apart from other Sci Fi movies. I can honestly say this ranks in my all time favorite Sci Fi films. The movie flows wonderful and doesn't seem to drag by at all. I highly recommend it to any Sci Fi fan. It will make you think what if.....
