They did it right. Tolkien on screen.

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2001)

With only a few minor and excusable exceptions, they captured Tolkien RIGHT with this movie. The look, feel, and sound of the book was represented properly on screen. I truly loved it. My new favorite fantasy movie ever, and the Best Picture of the year. If the Academy slights FOTR by denying an Oscar, it will be a tragedy. Hands down the best movie of the year. Go see it, you'll love it.
