Beyond all expectations!

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2003)

As a regular on IMDB, I have rated hundreds of movies. This is only the second time I've ever given a film a perfect 10.
Visually, this movie is beyond description. The CG in this film is a quantum leap above both previous films, and not at the expense of the story. The movie has some intensely emotional moments which were very unexpected, and masterfully done. If Peter Jackson doesn't get an Oscar this time around, expect riots in the streets. It's just that good.
I feel like I did after seeing Star Wars in the theater the first time. I just can't wait to go see it again, and again, and again.
