What an awesome film, I found it hard to accept that they could better part oneand they did!

Rating: 9/10 (22 January 2003)

This is filled with stunning visuals, of huge battles, landscapes and little creatures that love the darkness and their precious. The performances are wholly wonderful and pull you into the story without a second thought, with a plot that totally immerses you and will hardly let you take a breath until the very end. The effects are stunning, although some of the more distant people or crowd scenes were a bit noticeable; none of it takes away from the story. The grand scenes are so visually and emotionally rich, you can't help but feel affected by them, I was moved at quite a few scenes. There were internal cheers, genuine sympathy for characters, and an overwhelming emotion as the riders charge down the hill. This series is destined to go down in history, and no doubt they will all end in the top ten films of all time, if not five!
