Better than you thought it would be!

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2003)

in spite of the limits on time and the temerity to dislike some parts of the Canon, Peter Jackson has created a masterpiece that even J. R. R. Tolkien himself would have liked.
Remember that the Professor said not to look too closely at Fairie lest the magic fade...
I missed some of the parts left out of all three films. But this one didn't feel as long as the second film... And I will be back to see it again and again...
Scenery, camera angles, appropriate pauses in the action... beautiful...
Well recommended... don't fail to see it on the big screen -- or even IMAX if it's available in your area...
