Wow.

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2002)

Wow. That's really all I can say. When you give a movie a 10, and then the sequel is better, what do you do? Hell if I know. But any doubts I had about LOTR are officially gone. Gollum/Smeagol steals the whole show, with eyes that look more real than those on the humans. I hear there's a Best Supporting Actor campaign to Andy Serkis for his voice work and body work on Gollum, and while I first thought that ridiculous, they've got my vote. I mean...damn. I have no words. Just one more year til the Return of the King.
