One of the greatest achievements in film history

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2009)

This film genuinely deserved 21st place in IMDb's Top 250. It was more than outstanding - it was a masterpiece. Despite the fact I haven't read any of Tolkein's novels, I know the books are very long and I think Peter Jackson and all writers and producers did an incredible job, trimming the whole thing up to make it suitable and less boring for the audience. And the fact that the running time approximately for this movie is 3 hours, is just unbelievable.
The plot, the storyline, the performances, everything was great! I'm surprised the film still reflects the book (at least they didn't turn over 600 pages into a remake) This film is one of the greatest achievements in cinematic history and everyone who participated in the making of this epic should rightfully deserve an Oscar. Well done!
