The greatest fantasy film of all time.......so far.

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2002)

My anticipation and enthusiasm to see this movie propelled me to see the midnight showing at a multiplex where there were 12 sold-out screens all showing at the exact same time. Needless to say it was sheer delightful mayhem.
Consider the first hour and half of TTT to be an eloquent appetizer and sumptuous salad to a filet` mignon and lobster dinner.
As mentioned by an astute earlier reviewer Peter Jackson was so wise to hire "actors" and not "stars", though now those actors-as a result of "LotR"-now are stars.
Beautiful, inspiring, dark, powerful, funny, breath taking, action-packed.

If you do not like fantasy films stay away. If you have not seen The Fellowship of the Ring stay away. All others attendance is required.
