Great movie, too short for the real fan ;) Hope to see a Directors Cut soon!!

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2001)

There´s no scene where I would say "I know how to make this better", of course the are some scenes which are not-so-perfect, but I couldn´t imagine who could do it better than P.J. did! For me there is too much left out (the discussions about entering Moria or Lorien, the Legolas-Gilmi talks, Gandalfs letter introducing Strider in Bree, etc.) But, anyhow - these left-outs are very well chosen and don´t leave a hole when you watch the movie (except for the gifts of Galadriel which appear without mentioning, Lorien is IMHO the weakest part) --- for me it´s just the feeling that I want to see more; it´s over ways to fast. I wouldn´t mind sitting six hours ;))
