Better than 1 and 2 combined

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2003)

The Fellowship of the Ring was a magic movie magic when I first saw it, despite the lack of massive battle scenes, which I particuly like with the trilogy. The Two Towers did an even greater job immersing oneself into the story with the big battle of Helms Deep. The third and last movie successfully combined them both and possessed both the good story and the kick-ass battle scenes, both in much larger scale.
I long to see it again. Although I rather see the extended edition cause it gives you a more complete version of the plot (including the battle of the shire).
