Thank you, Peter Jackson, for bringing Middle Earth to life.

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2001)

As one who knows the trilogy almost by heart, I appreciate how Jackson has rendered Middle Earth and awakened the characters. The changes necessary for the film version were wise and sensitive to the original. I'll get the DVD version as soon as possible so I can play it over and over. Waiting for parts II and III will be very difficult.
