Goes to show that action-adventure movies can have heart and soul

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

Great performance all around. Beautiful Cinematography, Set Design...top notch technically. The screenplay, considering the massive source material, was streamlined but done so effectively. Sometimes a few lines of dialogue were spoken with the perfect hushed tone but became unintelligible. The Mines of Moria were fantastic. Everything. As some of the reviews have stated, it improved minute by minute. Thrilling.
