What's left to say....

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2002)

For the book readers a must, for the newbies a must. 4 Oscars are not enough to express the excellence of this movie. My mouth fell open when beholding the Balrog, exactly (and more) the way I presumed it would look. Thanks to New Line Cinema in believing and investing in the vision of Peter Jackson! 3 hours of footage could be doubled in my opinion to tell the story, but hey, who's complaining. After watching it 3 times, more details come to my attention, costume design (the runes on Legolas' quiver and the armor of Gimli), the make up...the, the...sigh...SUPERB!!!
Peter...chapeaux!
