well, to start with the trailers don't do it real justice. this movie is pretty awesome. graphics and scenery are amazing. the plot of course is classic. it's been so long since i read any tolkein i wasn't the least bit concerned withohow true to the books it is. Its an instant classic as far as i am concerned. most of the acting is exceptional and the charachters very believable.
i am normally not one to appreciate 3 hr long movies. but LOR had me rivited!! I looked at my watch after one hour and was amazed that was all the time that had passed - so much had already happened. and after that i never even thought about time again. i was actually surprised when it was over.
if you need to go to the restroom, i would suggest running right after they re-enter the dwarfs' mines - this is when i went and i was told that watching golem follow them and hiss was all i missed. if you are a golem fan, then you'd better not drink much cause the rest is pretty nonstop.
i am going to give away the ending here - there is no ending. it is like the 1st of a 3 part miniseries. it has a 'to be continued' feel to it. what did you expect - it is a triliogy?
while this movie will still be good on the tube, i say go see it on the big screen to fully appreciate the panoramic beauty of it.
