A wonderful film, but extremely overrated.

Rating: 6/10 (5 October 2005)

I really liked the films, being a LOTR fan.(I read it 10 times or so, and I also read the other books about Middle-Earth) It's good, beautiful and everything you could imagine. BUT: it is clearly over-rated. Magnificent battle-scenes, etc. BUT: It did NOT move me, as the book did. (Which would be 7 out of 10, for me) So it is six.(I was somehow bored during watching it, and I really missed some kind of atmosphere that was in the book. Sorry.) Artistically it is NOT a great achievement. It is the best that could be done of LOTR. It _could_ have been better, if all the films were about 10 hours' long. My best vote goes to Two Towers (that part of the book is 8 out of 10), that film will get 7.
