best of the year

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2004)

Finally, it took three years to see all three, but the wait was worth it. This is more than just an epic, it is, in combination with 'Fellowship of the Ring' and 'The Two Towers' a classic to go down in history as unforgettable. Peter Jackson rocks as being by far the best director of our time. He put New Zealand on the map and made people aware that reading classic literature can be a good thing. I myself have read the trilogy three times and this will not be the last time. Maybe I'll take up learning Elvish, who knows. I was very impressed at how the final film came to it's conclusion and can't wait for the extended version to come out.
