The film was incredible! Every square inch of it<wbr />! I was entertained from start to finish. I read<wbr /> the book many years ago and it was refreshed to<wbr /> perfection in this film. I am planning a trip t<wbr />o see my brother in New Zealand this fall and wa<wbr />nt to find the shire. SO dreamlike and wonderful<wbr />. Peter Jackson and crew~hats off!
