Simply an amazing movie...the kind of movie that will forever raise my standard for what movies should be.
LOTR seemed to take some of the best of Hollywood blockbuster (stunning visuals, fast pacing, seat-edge action) and mix it with some of the best for award-winning drama (heart-wrenching action, stunning cinematography, wonderful script).
LOTR is the first and ONLY fantasy film to ever have transcended the murky B-grade waters into a true masterpiece of film.
I will watch this movie dozens of times, for the rest of my life.
Thank you, Peter Jackson.
