Excellent; far better than I'd dared to hope for!

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2001)

Best movie I've seen in years. Great job of catching the narrative and the characters and really making middle earth a living breathing place. All the actors are wonderful and Vigo is especially good. And Liv Tyler makes me believe Arwen and her romance with Aragorn. Great work by everyone really.
The money obviously all made it onto the screen. Great sets, backgrounds, costumes and props (check out the great variety in the swords used.) This film scores a 10 in every category.
