Why have people not liked this movie

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

I have some of the comments on here about Jackson ruining LOTR. I think nothing could be further from the truth. This movie is in my personal top five, along with Braveheart, Schindler's List and Star Wars. It may not have been perfection, but it came real close. A definite Oscar Winner in the technical areas and I believe should receive Best Picture and Director. It was phenomenal to the Nth Degree. The parts left out were not necessary to the plot. The parts left in were shot beautifully and concisely. Bravo to Mr. Jackson and the cast and crew. I cannot wait for Christmas 2002.
Ahhh 2002. 2 Episode 2s to look forward to.
