Absolutely amazing

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2003)

This is a great movie. All the important pieces of the story are there, and the acting is great. The special edition, extended DVD is an even better movie since it adds important story elements and allows you to understand the characters better.
I was originally afraid that a movie just wouldn't do justice to the story, but I was very pleased by the result, it may even be better than the book (I never say that) since Tolkien can be very difficult to understand at times.
