Masterpiece upon masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2013)

I've given careful thought to many of the previously submitted negative reviews. I find them neither convincing nor compelling but can appreciate deeply the reasonable diversity on the matter, specifically the thoughtful and intelligent negative and less positive reviews.
Thus, in short, I feel this film is unequivocally and indomitably a masterpiece of epic proportions.
I have a deep love and admiration for all PJ has accomplished by, in and through these films, starting with the LOTR trilogy. The LOTR and Hobbit films and the depth of masterwork, love, attention to detail and commitment Peter and his team have affectionately delivered are deserving of full recognition, appreciation, and adoration.
In the end, I stand exuberantly amidst the broad host of those who adore the masterwork of J.R.R. Tolkien and yet hold this film dear to their heart and see it for the work of art that it is.
