Hands down, this is my favorite movie of all time

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2002)

Having read the books at least 10 times I came prepared to find fault, and came away in awe. Yes, not every scene made it to film, nor every line of dialog. However, they captured the feel and scope and grandure of a true epic. What makes a great film? You start with an large and important story and then tell it well. I came away drained and counting the days until The Return of the King!
