Excellent

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2003)

Some spoilers may appear:
Jackson comes thru, even the removed sequences that he took out of his script do not effect the magnitude of this epic film. The only weakness this film shows is found in its endings. While Jackson actually truncates the many endings of this tale left by Tolkien, its still long and dragged out. Im still looking forward to seeing the extended edition.
