Worth the wait.

Rating: 9/10 (1 March 2003)

I think my way of judging this film(s) (so far only the two)is that after reading the Lord of the Rings for the first time in 1970 it was a heck of a long wait to see the story transformed into a movie(s). I feel somewhat privileged to have finally been able to witness this transformation after a 30 some year wait and although the wait was long it was somewhat justified by the excellence of the films. Also there is not the fear that the project will end before the finish (this time).
