Oh my dear God

Wow ... breathless to say the least. I have just come back from watching the movie for the first (of many) time(s) I hope!
All I can say is it was absolutely amazing - the locations, the acting, the truthfulness to the book, the emotions between the characters - all top notch.
Ok die hard Lord of the Rings (book) fans may see some areas they dont like, that arent true to the book, but for a movie you have to please a wider audience and poetic license is allowed - and Peter Jackson while keeping true to the books essence and the important issues, has utilised that to produce a truly first of a kind, amazing cinematic delivery.
There were scenes where the entire audiences breath was literally taken away, and people were on the edge of their seats! Great character interaction, leaving you with a lump in your throat at times! The effects are amazing, the battles absoloutely superb - watch out for Legolas. That guy is one heck of a fighter. All of the fight scenes are amazing - especially the one at the start...
The cave troll, the balrog, gandalf, frodo and sam, the shire, galadriel, boromir!!!! WOWOWOWOWOWOW!
In the end all I can say is: Oh my dear God! Amazing.
Is you havent seen it yet, then get going ... NOW! If you have, then go again! I most certainly am.
