Shortcomings aside, one of the best movies in a long time.

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2001)

I'll keep it brief.
It's nice to see a movie with a story to tell.. and tell it well, it does. From the great cast (I was weary of Elijah Wood as Frodo when I first heard, but I'm very happy with him) to the great sets and the special effects, it's truly a great movie. The shortest 3 hours for me in a long time.
