We'll never see the like again

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2003)

There is absolutely no question the this was a labor of love for Mr. Jackson and all who took part in it. A labor of love that all movie lovers are very grateful for. Even at such an extreme length when including the other two films. And even with all that was left out from the novels, especially Tom Bombadil. It is an achievement that should last forever. Even in my wildest dreams I never thought that it could look this good. Perhaps it doesn't pack the emotional wallop that the book does at times (see Eowyn's triumphant moment) but the visuals are so tremendous that you willingly overlook the minute negatives.
All in all a tremendous achievement. I honestly believe that we'll never see the like again.
