Flawed, yes, but 10 out of 10? YES!

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2004)

Yes this movie could have been better, the begining 20 minutes or so are a little dissappointing, cinematically. But the rest of the film is so phenomenal and so captures the drama of Tolkien's nearly perfect story that you completely forget that there was ever anything less than spectacular about any of these films. Flat out, PJ gets it done in the end, and only utter perfection could have been better. A+
By the way. If you haven't... READ THE BOOKS! They are even better, once you get to the forming of the fellowship, you won't be able to put any of them down.
