I couldn't agree with you more.
There's something very different about LOTR. Different from other movies that are being made thesedays. There's an deep sence of...of something, it's hard to put into words.
But it doesn't feel like a motion picture. It feels like a timeless, stylish, wonderful piece of art. Just like the book.
I've read some comments by Andrew Lesnie, who's seen the whole 3hrs 20mins of The Two Towers, he seems very excited about it indeed. It really will be amazing if it can outshine Fellowship.

Everyone on the "geek net" has remarked on the same thing. Harry Knowles (of Ain't It Cool News) has written about how loyal and highly-motivated the cast and crew were on-set, and how consequently, none of the usual back-biting leaks that he usually gets from movie productions occurred. Apparently Peter Jackson treats his lowliest employees very well, unlike the usual Hollywood potentates who treat those lower on the totem poles like slaves or worse.
According to Harry (who has developed a close friendship with Mr. Jackson), this all has worked to build an attitude of teamwork at the LOTR production that goes all-out for the best from everyone...from the stars to the janitors, and it shows.

Heroism - going out and doing what must be done, no matter how afraid/uncomfortable you may feel about it.
Is that it?
