Definitely The best of the Three
This is the best of three of the three, in my opinion. It has great action, and it followed the book closely; so we know that it has a good story. Here is my one problem with it. There was too much focus on the battles and the power of the dark lord. THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH MAGIC. Read the books, and you will know what I'm talking about. When you read the books, you look forward to the fantasy magic feeling. THis movie makes the battles the climax of the movie. That's why I thought the beginning of the movie was the best. It had more of the magical feeling, but then there goes the banging drums and violins and hack n slash battle. That was not what the books were about.
Now, I don't want to complain too much because Peter Jackson still did a great job, and did a LOT of hard work on these movies. There good. But I definitely don't think that they were like the books. The books are better and always will be. Read them and watch this movie.

TO TO GOOD
THIS WAS THE BEST MOVIE THAT I HAVE SEEN.

BEST PART
THE FORMING OF THE FELLOSHIP

WORST PART
THER I'SNT ANY!


Couldn't be better...All three
I think that Peter Jackson deserves all the cudo's he can garner for these films. Casting was amazing, every character completely believable and perfect for the part. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and perfectly filmed. I was amazed at Jackson's succesful attempt to stay true to the original story. True some prime characters were left out and I did miss the return to the Shire and finding men had taken over. But for the conventions of movie making some things must fall by the wayside, and I think Jackson did a supurb job weeding out what little he did.
All three of these films are high on my list of "watch again".
Can't give them a high enough rating.
