You know, many of us enjoyed the theatrical version. It is a solid film - it did get an Oscar nomination after all. It is by no means perfect. I myself prefer Fellowship and neither of these films would I consider as my favourite of all time (though Fellowship makes my top ten list).<P>With all the garbage that gets thrown at us in the theaters, from the pretentious to the mindless fluff, I find it strange that this film should receive such ire. Anyone has every right not to like it, but calling it crap as a statement of fact is simply not true.<P>Just thought I would put in a point from the other side. <P>H.C.
