Movies do not get better than this

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2004)

After seeing this film I realized that I had just watched what was perhaps the best movie I had ever seen. The only way this movie could not be enjoyed is if one were predispositioned to not liking fantasy or Tolkien's writings. As a fan of the books, I could not have expected a better translation to film. Some Tolkien purists have been unfair to all three films but I am sure the man himself would have approved. Movies do not get better than this.
