I have to agree.. Went at midnight last night... Without a doubt, the best epic FANTASY ever made, and probably the best EPIC ever made period (Braveheart is another amazing film in that genre to me). I say that this one has a fair chance of harvesting every possible award this coming year. Its now my favorite movie
i think...
Howard Shore is an amazing composer, and the soundtrack is one i'll probably run out today and buy (and I hate buying albums because of the RIAA). Annie Lennox sings a RIVETING song during the closing credits that is reason enough to buy it.
From someone who has read the books, I have to say that Peter Jackson left almost nothing out, and did an amazing job building the story and characters. This is the first time I can remember that fanatical premovie fans were in wholehearted support of what a filmaker did with their raison d'etre .
My wife already wants to see it again, and we just got out of the theater a few hours ago.. It was that good.
