simply awesome!!

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2003)

The world is divided into two categories as far as the Lord of the Rings is concerned, those that have read it and those that should. I have read the book 10 times in 41 years and am ashamed i havent read it at least 41 times. Now you know what category i fall under, and that i am an extremely hard person to please, i was totally satisfied with the second book. There were complaints about the first film as to how true it was to the book (what no Tom Bombadil?) but the second whilst still not flawless, how picky can i be? is a great testament to the cast and crew and their obvious desire to produce a cinematic feast and produce something J R R Tolkein would have been proud of. Without being too fussy i really cannot fault the acting, scenery, direction and the absolute grandeur of it all. top ten film if there ever was one!! 10/10
