Blows your brain away

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2003)

Gargantuan piece of art. This last episode surely follows in the footsteps of its predecessors. Its got it omissions or rather its often abrupt shortcuts and it is this which leaves it short of being a masterpiece. One thing is for sure though. If the past is anything to go by, Masterpiece it will be when Mr Jackson gives us the extended cut. Tolkien deserves naught less!
