lord of the rings. it's fair. there is a sense of fakeness and insipidness to it. it has action and it's ok visually, but yet it's kind of fake and grey. i think it must be too much srtificial similtuin or something.the matrix. probably my 3rd to 4th viewing.
this is a great film. and a great science-fiction film.
perhaps there are some inconsistencies in it's structure. but it has great metaphorical significance, and the action is also first rate.
you are only limited by your own intelligence in viewing this film.
it's very interesting how it goes back and forth from action to quiet explanation of scenerio by the characters, and this is done very well.
