    don't know what everyone is whining about. overall it's a good movie. and of course it *can't* be as good as the ones 10 years ago. all of middle earth isn't neck deep in horror yet people, so it will of course be a little less epic. still good though. I was impressed.

    A tremendous journey into nerdom. This movie does not disappoint. A lot of Tolkiens original dialogue was used.

    It was a good movie, but it was not a great movie. I had not read the book first so I found the movie a little disjointed. The book may have helped.

    4.5 stars, beginning was a bit slow then it went into overdrive. So glad they introduced new characters and cut out the cheesy love story. Gollum, as always, just tugs at your heart strings.

    Absolutely stunning. The movie of the year hands down. Epic battle scenes, spectacular cinematography and unforgettable heart wrenching moments. Ahh, I will see at least 5 times before it comes out of theaters.

    Saw it last night in 3D IMAX, and LOVED it! Yes there were parts that were a bit blurry, but overall the only way to see this movie is in 3D. Just my opinion of course. Yes it is a long movie, but in the end it didn't seem long enough.
