Stirring stuff

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2003)

Eagerly awaited, this film did not disappoint. More, more, I cry -
they're never too long for me. But why were so many tantalising
glimpses from the trailer absent in the film? I'm looking forward to
the DVD EE to add to my collection - maybe they'll appear in that. I
was also disappointed that Aragorn's powers as healer and the
romance between Faramir and Eowyn were not shown; and of
course by the lack of Saruman. The whole spectacle is breathtaking, the music sublime, and the locations perfectly
realised. Can't wait for the Hobbit!! 10/10
