An edge-of-the-seat movie, beautifully filmed!

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

We loved it! As long-time Tolkien fans, we were fearful that it might disappoint us. But, no, on the contrary, it was wonderfully done. So many of imagined scenes surpassed our expectations. A minor quibble: one could wish for a little more character development among the lesser stars---Legolas and Gimli, for instance.
