"Tell me, friend, when did Saruman the wise abandon reason for madness?"

That line keeps haunting me. I have seen the movie five times on the cinema and every time Gandalf delivers his line I, and the audience shivers. Then an incredible cool fight take place. I remembered the first time I saw it, and the scene ended, I turned to my friend and said: (the only time I left my eyes from the screen) That was cool.

I don't have a habit saying those words. Thirteenyear-old's have a habit of saying this when they're watching "cool" film's that Arnold and Stallone makes, but I don't have a habit of saying that. But that scene... as magical as the laserswordfights in the Star Wars movies.

But this movie is more than cool. Much, much more. It is what I've been waiting for. This is what it should feel when you visit the cinema. An experience, a treasured moment that will count for much, a true feeling that you've experienced something... magical.

I belive most here on the IMDb has said the most of what can be said about this fantastic movie. Beautiful, exciting, funny, dramatical... I could go on for ever.

The scenes with Gandalf and Saruman are my personal favorites. These men have such enormous panagé, such encridible persona, such superb prescence on screen. Their every word are stuck on my mind for ever, their strong and beautiful voices echoing in my brain. Their acting is wonderful.

I felt such dreadful sorrow when Gandalf fell, every time I saw it my heart stung and I cried every time. "Run, you fool's!"

But the best and most funniest line the movie ever produced was that of Gimli (John-Rhys Davies). My friends and I roared with laughter every time.

"Not the Beard!"
