Already a classic

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2004)

The "LotR"-trilogy is already a classic like Star Wars (the original of course) or, if you are in the music business, "Der Ring des Nibelungen". Some people will enjoy it, others will avoid it, but you cannot say that it's bad 'cause it isn't. Don't get me wrong, the book is still better, it has more depth than the movie version, but you had to make six movies with six hours each to come close to what J.R.R. Tolkien imagined - and still people would complain. But Peter Jackson did a good job and I'm looking forward if he's rewarded by an Academy Award.
