After all the hype is over-with, I finally watched LOTR, and...

Rating: Null/10 (8 March 2008)

...what can I say ? This is a good movie. I didn't read the books so can't really compare the different media formats. Nevertheless, the movie was very entertaining and meaningful. Something like that. Overall, I gave it a 10 cause the quality in every respect was top rate. Special effects, dialog, acting, storyline, and pacing were what I'd expect from such an epic tale. It's no wonder that such a movie would be awarded such high honors. The only thing I didn't like was the inclusion of smoking as a favorable past-time for the Hobbits. I'm wondering if this would influence children into experimenting with such a bad habit. Anyway, its' a good movie, watch it.
