Wow.

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2004)

This is a very good movie. I waited a year for it, but it was definately worth the wait. The acting is great, the effects are great, and the locations are awesome.
I enjoyed the special effects, they were realistic and they didn't take over the whole movie (Think the opposite of Matrix- Although i haven't seen the last one, i have heard all of the horrible reviews it got.)
The story is great, it is well written by Tolkien; and Peter Jackson did a great job of bringing it to the big screen.
Overall, I would give the movie a 9.7/10 (I missed the House of Healing- I can't wait untill the extended DVD comes out because i've heard it will be on it!)
