Just for the hell of it....

As for LOTR, these are 3 hour movies covering incredibly deep books. Anyone who hopes for the books' equal will be dissapointed. Inevitably. But if all you expect is a phenominal movie, it succeeds past any possible expectations...

I liked Fellowship enough to buy the big four-disc DVD set and I'll probably buy the TT set as well, but I still think that the Rings movies are overrated. I think they're good, but not the best movies ever like so many people suggest.
