Look, despite satisfied nostalgia, this movie, and I refuse to call it a film, has little to offer.

Rating: 1/10 (15 December 2004)

I don't wish to offend any one but to protect the integrity of the rating system. Honestly, if you enjoyed the film it was more because you read the books and have been avid about the story for a few decades than it was its cinematic quality. I'm sure it was wonderful for what it was, but people- was it really the second best movie ever released? Saying that The Return of the King was of better quality than Network, Dr. Strange Love- or any of the greats is naive. It's story is not its, so if you voted so highly for its story than you were voting for the book. Visually: impressive, but think about the pictures budget. So what was it than, it was unoriginal- and certainly not worthy of second best film on IMDb.
