The wacky visuals suggest that the film's editor was asked to spank this baby back to life; thus there are segments in split screen, multiscreen and, for a brief John Woo tribute, slow motion as doves flutter around a thug.

Just as important, the trilogy infused the fantasy genre with a grace and gravity unseen on such a huge scale. LOTR was an artistic and financial coup so impressive that even the Motion Picture Academy was bowled over, giving the film a record-tying 11 Oscars...
