Anyone that didn't enjoy this (or Fellowship) doesn't deserve the privilege of seeing it..

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2002)

All the hype and glamour surrounding this movie has, in one way or another blinded people. If one sits back and takes an objective look at these two movies that can see how truly great they are. So much effort and thought went into the making of Lord of the Rings. It deserves a lot of credit, as it is one of the most complex stories ever written. The locations, the actors, the dialogue, the humour and the music are all top notch. Both movies ooze class on all grounds, and we're too blind to see it. Even those who enjoyed the films may have been swept up in it all, and could come to love it even more if they are more observant.
I feel sorry for anyone that didn't enjoy both movies, your mind must be completely shut and void of all imagination. If you did your research into the magnitude of the story, you will know that no one could ever had directed, or made the movies any better. The sheer volume of material that had to be included would leave anyone for dead. But Peter Jackson managed to pull it off. Of those who don't care for a story of such brilliance and magnitude, at least have the intelligence to acknowledge the quality of the production.
We live in a world where everyone thinks they're movie experts. Clear and detach your mind from all preconceived notions, sit back and watch both films again. Only then will you be able to appreciate the splendour of the story and the movies.
I will be very surprised if anything even comes close to this trilogy in the next decade.
It is truly worth 10/10.
