Tolkien is NOT rolling in his grave.....

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2001)

This was an amazing movie. I really have a hard time trying to describe the feelings that were evoked while sitting in a cold movie theater with 200 other people. I actually cared for these characters. They mattered to me. And as a few of them died off, I had a real feeling of loss.
The story-telling was well done and I don't think they wandered too far from the path J.R.R had set when he first wrote this epic. I suggest one and all to head out and see this movie. Take your loved ones. Forget they hype machine that was Episode One: this is the real-deal. You will leave the theater longing for the next installment and feeling like you were part of the story.
