Yes loved the books, and I love this Movie..So there

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2004)

Grand, sweeping, and at times monumental. But nevertheless captures your emotions for the characters in the nostalgic manner, of Tolkien's writing, that makes it-lump-in-your-throat-difficult to say good-bye to these beloved characters.
Yes I will treasure this movie and its predecessors till the end of my days.
