It's 3 hours long but never drags. It's about hobbits, elves, dwarves and wizards but feels like an epic drama. It's the first part of a trilogy but works perfectly as a complete film. It's TOO GOOD!
I've only met one person who didn't like this film, and they were weird. On whatever level you choose to examine it, it can't really be faulted; Acting, Screenplay, Direction, Effects, big budget blockbuster or intelligent literary adaptation, there's nothing wrong with it. You've probably already seen it, so I don't really know why i'm adding a review, and i'm not saying anything original... but if, by some freak chance, you've NOT watched this yet, get it now!
The DVD is great, too, as they've chucked about a million extras at it, most of which involves all of the main people from the film (Jackson, McKellan, Wood etc).
This shows how it was all done. Very interesting. Cast interviews great, insight into the movie fabulous.
