...the film triumphantly succeeds. It is visually and technologically stunning, the action scenes are terrific, Andy Serkis' Gollum is brilliant beyond words, and (unlike The Lord of the Rings films) the many changes Jackson makes to Tolkien's original storyline are nearly always effective.

This is the magic of tolkien, he helps us grow up with out us hardly realizing we are being shown the way to walk off into the white spaces of our own maps.

And despite being a fairly rabid critic of PJ's TT and RotK, this works splendidly.
good catch davem
