4th best movie of all time, I think not....

Rating: Null/10 (26 March 2006)

I loved this movie, I loved this series, I love LOTR and all its glory. I know bringing a story to life in a movie takes incredible talent, but they had at their disposal probably the most popular and fantastic literary series of all time.
Compared to the book, the movie is rather bad, still it manages to be very very good, but what it is not, is one of the greatest movies of all time, it does not move you really, it doesn't make you think, it is simply the greatest story ever in movie form. Therefore I'd say it should actually be around the 40-20 rank, however large that range may be.
I know it wont go down, from this lofty position, I don't know if you should bring the books into play when rating it, I just felt like stating my opinion on this trivial matter.
P.S. No true Lord of the Rings fan would ever consider this to be a spectacular movie. You would just be happy the book wasn't embarrassed by this movie/series.
P.P.S. I wish they had remade the Hobbit first. That would have been fun.
P.P.P.S. I used the word movie a lot in this comment.
