VERY VERY good

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2002)

This movie was so good it made 3 hours seem like 5 minutes. The time flew just as fast the second time I watched it. In fact, I enjoyed it MORE the second time. Peter Jackson and Company put so much detail into this movie that it seems you see something new every time you watch it.

In that way, one may say that the movies are as good as the books. I've read the books many times and I still enjoy them every time I read them. So far, the movies are living up to that level of quality as well.
Memorable moments from the movie include Gandalf vs. Balrog, Gollum's torment, Grima's passion for evil, Legolas & Gimli's growing relationship, Aragorn's courage, the last charge of the Ents, Rohan's last stand, Eomer's charge, Gollum's fish song, Sam's unfaltering strength, and many more...
