Truely epic, will see 2nd time for full appraisal

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2002)

I'll make it a short one:
1. Initially a lipsync problem ticked me off a little (especially with Gollum). 2. Absolutely loved what they did with Gollum's character development, further on in the movie. 3. Amazing graphics and epic scenery (fights, some HUGE animals), although at times a bit chaotic. 4. Loved the atmosphere created by all the clearly different armies and creatures. 5. Will have to watch it again to see if some of the chaos and things I didn't get were my misinterpretation or defects in this cut of the movie.
