I have been waiting 40 years to see the best movie that has EVER been or EVER will be made...

Rating: Null/10 (23 December 2001)

I have not nor will I read other user comments...I do NOT want to be angered by their inanities. I have seen this movie twice in as many days and have decided unequivocally that this is, by ALL interpretations of cinematic techniques and creative abilities, the BEST interpretation of the HOLY writ by J.R.R. Tolkien that has ever or will ever be attempted by any human on earth. Bakshi's junque was just that junque and will always be regarded as such. The Rankin/Bass attempt was the most laughable piece or trivia I have EVER had the misfortune to experience.
Others may disagree with what I have just said..if so, so be it...I pity their ignorance. No matter what anyone else says, this series of films will live long in the annals of filmdom as the BEST rendition of the Holy writ of J.R.R. Tolkien that will EVER exist.
