I really liked it, but disappointed with all the hype...

Rating: 7/10 (17 December 2003)

Although I give this movie a 7/10, I actually enjoyed it a lot less than it may seem. With everyone I knew hailing it as the best film ever, I was overly disappointed in this LOTR installment...yet again. I'm not sure if I enjoyed it better than The Two Towers, but I didn't really enjoy any of them that much. However, the art direction, acting, and special effects were classy, and it deserves a 7/10 as a whole.
