One of the best in a while.

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2001)

This work is a great adaptation of a virtually unscalable literary work in terms of film. The effects, story, and characters were all superb. The end left me wanting more, in spite of the fact that I had just sat through 3 hours of film, and I already have read the books. It's an amazing work with great emotional and visual depth.
