how can this be followed up?

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2002)

I saw the original in the theaters three times, and even though I loved it, I didn't think it had what it took to be number one on my list. Then I saw the Extended Edition, and I thought, okay, that's the best film I've ever seen...I have a list of my 100 favorite films, and movies have to be extremely good to just get into my top twenty. But the special edition of this movie swept up till number one. Now when it is only more than a week till the Two Towers comes out, I still wonder how director Peter Jackson can follow this up. I mean really.
