    Flawless

    It's 3 hours long but never drags. It's about hobbits, elves, dwarves and wizards but feels like an epic drama. It's the first part of a trilogy but works perfectly as a complete film. It's TOO GOOD!

    I've only met one person who didn't like this film, and they were weird. On whatever level you choose to examine it, it can't really be faulted; Acting, Screenplay, Direction, Effects, big budget blockbuster or intelligent literary adaptation, there's nothing wrong with it. You've probably already seen it, so I don't really know why i'm adding a review, and i'm not saying anything original... but if, by some freak chance, you've NOT watched this yet, get it now!

    The DVD is great, too, as they've chucked about a million extras at it, most of which involves all of the main people from the film (Jackson, McKellan, Wood etc).

    Don't believe the hype!

    Although verging on the geeky and anorakish, I don't have much quarrel with the book series on which this film is based as they captured my imagination as a kid. But that's the difference - like Harry Potter this story is best left to the kids. I found this film pedantic in detail, mawkish, sentimental, simplistic, and overly long – so much so that I fast forwarded through several scenes without losing anything. All of these things but the length panders to American mindsets/Homer Simpson IQs. There was an animated film of LOR that I saw in my teens which totally outdoes this if we’re talking about special effects and character studies – and come on, these days it’s so easy with that CGI stuff. What’s harder to do is for actors to act – McKellan and Lee being old hands cruise through without breaking a sweat, while many of the others play with bland middle-of-the-road characterization (Blanchett, Tyler, Bean, Holm) – wet and limp like soggy old veg. Boring, unremarkable, overly-long and over-blown.

    Potter named 'best fantasy franchise'

    • 17 Jul 2009

    Harry Potter is the world's most popular fantasy franchise, according to a new internet poll. As the latest installment of the wizard adventure casts a spell over movie goers, visitors to websites Moviefone and Bebo have named it their favourite - trumping Lord of the Rings and even vampire tale Twilight. Seventy-three per cent of voters chose Harry Potter, followed by Lord of the Rings with just 16 per cent, Twilight with eight per cent and The Chronicles of Narnia with three per cent. Read more
