I got so lucky that I had the chance to watch it twice via advance screening (in my country it'll show on Jan. 9th!!). So what can I say???<P>IT WAS AWESOME! Everything about it! Even with the diversions from the book and loss of some parts of it, I say it's still the best movie/trilogy ever made. (There was a review I read hours ago comparing Godfather and Rings ... and they insist the Godfather is the best trilogy. My answer would be there is no basis for comparison, and of course, Rings is the BEST!)<P>Normally as a book lover, I would nitpick on details ... but I think Peter Jackson, cast and crew deserve credit. After all I wouldn't have seen Middle Earth in film if they didn't take that bold step (adapting a well loved/revered, so detailed book into film)'cuz we have to admit the task was daunting (and dangerous - he's dealing with rabid fans like me here !). I'm pretty happy with the quality on how the film was made. After all there's still the Extended DVD version to look forward to. <P>So I say kudos to everyone involved in this project for being very visionary!!! <p>[ 12:43 PM December 23, 2003: Message edited by: Tintalle ]
