The Best of the Best
Having at last seen all three installments of Jackson's beautiful trilogy, I can say that the only problem would be picking the best of the three. I have leaned toward "Fellowship," I think, because of it's sheer beauty. The greens of the Shire, the russet colors of Rivendell, the Silvers of Lothlorien...the Alan Lee and John Howe designs convey the peaceful, the powerful, the majestic and the endangered.

Perhaps because this film, like the book it is based on, is, for its first two thirds, the calm before the storm of action, terror, and violence that will permeate the next two films, it is the most able to convey total harmony in all it's parts. The artistic design, the music, and the acting are all perfectly inspired and inspiring, fueled and fueling of one another.

So much has been said of these films that it is hard to add anything meaningful; but I would like to add my opinion here because I feel these films have been a gift, of a sort, to all whose hearts are open to their messages.

Lord of the Rings was Hot!
I loved this movie. I hadn't read the books, but when I saw this movie, I decided to read them. They chose the perfect actors for it, and I just love this film.

I've been waiting for this for years
I have always wanted to see a movie version of the Lord of the Rings. I have feared, at the same time, that it would not live up to the novel(s).

This movie does just that. It is amazingly well done. Yes, I know there were some aspects added and that it wasn't 100% true to the novel. All of this is easily overlooked due to the incredible vison of Peter Jackson and the craft behind the movie.

For those who are not Tolkien fans, my wife thought it was enjoyable, though she would not see it again. I think everyone should at least give it a try - fan or not of the genre.
