Ignore the one-star reviews. They have NOTHING to do with the actual film.
I can't believe how many folks posting negative reviews of this magnificent film have never even seen it. That's because this is a Region 2 release, not playable on most U.S. devices. Why punish the film itself when you haven't even watched it? When you DO see it, you'll be as gobsmacked as we were by its stunning use of modern restoration techniques, time-correction, colorization, sound effects, and vocal dubbing. It was hard to believe we were watching 100-year-old images. Director Peter Jackson and his team have achieved a truly landmark series of advancements in the presentation of this kind of material and I can't wait to see how others will now follow in his footsteps. The possibilities are endless.
