Impressive!

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2003)

I wasn't disappointed. True it was long but having read the books several times over the years I still marvel that Mr. Jackson was able to tell the story in three movies. Having read the books I can see where things have been left out, for this reason I buy the extended versions when they come out on DVD. I can't wait to buy the extended version of this one. My wife reserved comment all the way home and I thought perhaps she didn't like it. She has never read the books and loved the first two movies. When she finally commented she said she wasn't sure if she liked it or not. After a few minutes she said, "To be honest I think my problem is the story is over and there won't be any more movies." I don't think I can give it a better tribute than that.
