Outstanding Achievement

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2002)

Peter Jackson is in the midst of creating, what I believe - IMHO - to be a work that will stand as a testament to movie making for generations. The "difficult" middle movie - surely the toughest of the three - has been delivered as close to perfect as anyone could have hoped for. OK, the Ents are a mess - you can almost see the strings - but how else do you do realize them on the screen?? It's not perfect, but, it's still a great way to spend three hours in a movie theater.
