Simply unbelievable.

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

Simply unbelievable. That's the only description I can think of. I have never been a huge Tolkien fan, although I've read the trilogy many times. I was actually sceptical going in and waiting for a typical Hollywood crapfest. Instead I was surprised by a movie with everything going for it. All the actors are solid to excellent, the special effects are truly special and the soundtrack ranks among the most memorable movie soundtracks I've heard. As hard as I think, I can't think of one complaint I have regarding this movie. Oh yes, there is one - I have to wait for a year to see the sequel! See this movie now, you'll thank yourself!
