Keeps you riveted

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2003)

This movie provides an excellent opening to what appears to be possibly one of the greatest movie trilogies ever. Very similar to book, they've done a good job of only editing out parts of the book that didn't really matter, i.e., Bombadil. Brilliant work by Jackson, though I'll admit i had some doubts at first, seeing his history. I've heard people say that it drags on, but it felt like it was over too soon for me.
