Stunning and beautiful. This instant masterpiece has terrific characters, compelling story, thrilling sequences (Gandalf fights Balrog: You Shall Not Pass!) and state-of-the-art directing, acting, and cinematography. The music score is beautiful and the New Zealand setting provides an equally beautiful Middle Earth. The acting is fantastic, from Wood's worried facial features, to Blanchett's soulful narration. Truly one of the great films.

The final chapter to 'The Lord of the Rings' is a magnificent finale to the legendary trilogy. The well built-up climax is thrilling and jaw-dropping. The fight scenes are as good as the previous films (thanks to state of the art SFX). The characters that we know and love from the previous films, have grown and evolved into much deeper personalities. This is fantastic movie-making at its peak. This redefines the word EPIC.

'The Two Towers' will be remembered for its magnificent battle scene at the the film's conclusion, but more importantly for the crawling masterpiece that is Gollum.

An exhilarating, exciting, fun action/adventure that blends the action with humour. The Lucas/Spielberg classic is a must see for anyone who loves movies. The sequels are great too! Ford has never suited a role better than Indy.

No childhood should go without this movie

Zemeckis's fun and exhilarating adventure to the past shines with '80s charm.

A great sequel to an already great original. Like the original it's fun and exciting. The future that is portrayed in this film is dazzling.

This is the best of all Star Wars movies. It must have blown 'A New Hope' out of the water when it first came out. This one puts the three prequals to shame...shame prequals, shame! It also has the best ever twist in cinematic history, better than Saw, Fight Club and Planet of the Apes, this twist is so famous that your head might explode while watching it. Such a good movie, BLAHHH!

The one that started it all. A great story with fun characters and a thrilling adventure.

The second Indy film is quite like the first: exciting, thrilling, emotional and breathtaking. However the chick was an annoying bitch, especially compared to Marion from the first film, who was excellent. I have nothing against Shorty. He was a little annoying but compared to the chick he was OK. Still, this was a great sequel!

Spielberg, Ford and Lucas reunite to bring back one of cinema's greatest characters, and reigniting a much beloved franchise. 19 years since the last 'Indiana Jones ' film, one may think that its been too long to make another sequel, but the three geniuses throw in everything they can muster to create another rip-roaring adventure. There are Russian soldiers killer ants, monkeys, tribesmen, quicksand, waterfalls, high speed car-chases, machine guns and even aliens. No rolling boulders though... Not only is this a return to the Indy franchise for Spielberg, but it's a return to his fun blockbuster films. Ever since 'The Colour Purple' he has mainly made serious films, it's been a while since we've seen him do something so fun. The action scenes are a huge key to the film and there are set-pieces that rank among the best of the franchise. The rest of the cast are excellent including new comers Shia Labeouf as the adventurous side-kick (better than Shorty) and Cate Blanchett as the hot Russian villainess. Her over-the-top performance was brilliant. The return of Karen Allen was also much appreciated. However this is Ford's movie and even in his 60s he shows no sign of slowing down.

This film is actually very different from its sequels. It could be a stand-alone film, and maybe should have been. Jack Sparrow is primarily the reason it's so good, but this has a simpler yet better plot from its complicating sequels. It is probably the best Pirate movie I've seen. There are good sword fights, cool special effects, great characters, and nicely-timed humour. Johnny Depp shows that he is an actor of great diversity.

Rob Reiner's film adaptation of Stephen King's book 'The Body' is the definitive coming-of-age movie as it shows four different friends embark on a gripping journey that'll change there lives forever.
