Breath-taking!

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2003)

When I saw the first 'Lord of the Rings' (Fellowship of the Ring) film last year I was bowled over by the incredible visuals and set-pieces.
Having just seen this new one, I can say that the visuals in this are even better and the action in simply breath-taking. The film builds slowly throughout its massive 3 hour running time to a gorgeous, huge battle at Helms Deep, pitting 10,000 Orkai (I think that's the correct spelling?) against hundreds of men and elves.
The action in this film is well paced and the characters are developed further. On the big screen the whole film is a true spectacle to behold and one of the best films I've seen in a very long time.
It's simple - if you haven't seen this yet, then go see it today on the big screen, you'll love it!
10 out of 10 .. Peter Jackson - you are a genius Director!
