Thank You Peter Jackson!

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2001)

I first read "Lord of the Rings" when I was a teenager (early 1980s). It is hard to overstate how much I enjoyed the story or how much it influenced my imagination. I read the books, but somehow Peter Jackson read my mind. If I made a movie about this greatest of all epic stories, it wouldn't be too much different from what I saw last night!!! I was so concerned that a typical "Hollywood" version would be made ( you know, all three books in one 90 minute movie, etc...) , and overjoyed to see that that was not the case. All I want for Christmas is "The Two Towers"... Peter, don't be afraid to make it 3 and 1/2 hours if you need to. Everyone in the theatre I was in last night would have gladly stayed right in their seats to see it. Frodo Lives!
