Best representation of TLOTR possible in 3 hours.

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2002)

As entertainment, this movie is a 10+ No one can expect more than 300 pages of multi-layer plot to be perfectly represented in (even) a 3 hour movie. The movie is not without minor flaws, but no movie can be perfect either. It reasonably represented the feel, plots, and undercurrents of Tolkein's book.
