Ratings and reviews

This is such a great film. I didn't know it existed until recently. I can definitely see where Peter Jackson got his inspiration from. If you're a LOTR fan you must watch this!!

I enjoyed this very much as a kid and even now after the epic story told by Peter Jackson, this still brings back great memories of my first experience of The Lord of the Rings. Its incomplete yes, but for what it is, I enjoyed it very much.
