Oh, wow...

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2001)

Geez, it doesn't get much better than this. I managed to get tickets opening day, saw it and was in a state the rest of the day. The next day, my sister and I took my mother to see it and I was in yet another state for the rest of the day. The next day, I took a friend to see it and was in yet another state for the rest of the day. I wanna see it again. Three times is not enough.
This has got to win all the awards this year. I don't understand why people are calling it overrated. It is not. This is the best adaptation of LOTR ever. Period.
Go see it, then go see it again. Oh, and don't get anything to drink or eat and be sure to visit the restroom BEFORE you even sit in your seat. You will regret it if you do.
Magnificent and moving and exhausting. However, 10/10 does not describe this movie. I'd give it infinity stars out of ten.
