I truly love this dark, fantastic movie....

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2002)

Oh my oh my, what a ride this movie was! After watching the extended version dvd of The Fellowship of the Ring at home the same day (I've seen the first movie 4 times now) I went to see part 2 with full expectations. The movie delivered so much more than I expected! It had good character developments, subtle humor, absolutely FANTASTIC small details (watch Legolas jumping backwards on the horse!) and LOTS of dark action, it blew me totally away!!!!! For me, this movie, like part 1, has the power and greatness of movies such as Star Wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Requiem For A Dream, Blade Runner, Taxi Driver and Lawrence of Arabia... OOoohhh boy, I'm really looking forward to part 3!!! Watch this movie and then watch it some more!!! 10 out of 10!!!!!!
