Gorgeous, stirring adaptation of the much beloved Tolkien epic

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2002)

I thought I was a Tolkien fanatic! But Peter Jackson must have ate slept and breathed Middle Earth. This film is beyond the usual blockbuster. Here is a world that will be revisited for generations to come. I wait with much anticipation for the next and final film.
The thrill of the Treebeard talking to Merry and Pippin, Gollum's heartwrenching struggle with his evil and good sides, Aragorn and co.'s amazing standoff at Helm's Deep and of course, Frodo and Sam, doggedly determined to put an end to the One Ring...
WOW, and those Wraiths on wings! wooooo hoooo!
