I enjoyed the hell out of this. I saw it in RealD in the high-definition 48 frame projection and I thought it was gorgeous. Yes, it takes a little while to get going. For what will ultimately be nine hours of movie, I can see why it takes an hour or so to establish characters. Nevertheless, the dancing, zooming and swooping shots of the shire, of the mountains and of middle earth were amazing. The exteriors of Peter Jackson’s beloved New Zealand were beautifully rendered. It’s sincere, it’s exciting, and there are several action scenes that are as good as anything in any movie all year. It almost seems unfair that the ticket price is only three dollars more than other movies, because the value is worth so much more.
