Great achievement!!!

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2003)

Without a doubt, this movie has to be the best film achievement of the year. All elements of filmmaking deserve recognition; production, acting, directing, visual effects, sound, music, special effects, cinematography, everything. It had it all. I cannot wait until the extended edition dvd is available for my collection. What a treat not only for all middle-earth followers but for lovers of good cinema worldwide.
