[HairOfTheDog]

Whatever the personal convictions of the film's collaborators, not only will audiences find here virtues like valor, fealty, honor, and self-sacrifice, but also Tolkien's more explicitly Christian concepts of absolute truth, good and evil, and the sure hand of Providence.

The concepts quoted are spot on for Tolkien's themes.

Sorry, I don't see the hand of Providence in LOTR. It's all about fantasy. I am not critcizing Tolkein. Just this author's overblown review.
