Slept through most of it.
Loved, loved. Some beautifully filmed scenes. True to Tolkien's book and appendices. Perfectly cast. Music!
Very slow. No way it should be in 3 parts.
This movie looks much different than the LOTR trilogy. It is filmed at a higher frame rate that makes it look like a cheap daytime soap opera. Story wasn't bad, but they stretched it out and probably would have fit nicely into one film. Hopefully they make some changes to the film's look before it goes to DVD.
Outstanding movie! Jackson was detailed in ths movie, ths setting up the next two!
Beautifully crafted but bloated. The pacing of this movie crawls at a snails speed. With tighter editing, this could have been a much enjoyable experience but it felt more like watching an extended edition with unnecessary scenes. For a stand alone movie it's "OK" but compared to its predecessor, it's mediocre.
Great movie
Excellant
Loved it. The effects were amazing and the Gollum scene was hilarious. All the actors were perfect. I can not wait for the rest of the movies.
Pitt has received four Academy Award nominations and five Golden Globe Award nominations, winning one Golden Globe. He has been described as one of the world's most attractive men, a label for which he has received substantial media attention.
