I saw it today with my 12-year old son. I'm not a huge "Rings" fan, although I did enjoy the first 2 movies. That being said, this is one the best movies I've even seen.
3 1/2 hours of unbelievable cinematography, spectacular action, gripping story, and a remarkable good vs. evil theme throughout.
I had tears at the end, at the coronation, with the 4 hobbits.
I am a huge RIngs fan, and also felt it was one of the most moving conema experiences ever. The grandness of the whole movie is stunning, and yet the personal aspects of each character were touching. There were moments when I was moved to tears, and others where I wanted to cheer. I intend to see it again in the next few days. I missed much since the action is fast and furious at times.
Little in this world actually deserves the overused phrase- Awsome- but this movie does!
