and I have not had a chance to see it yet!!!

I just know :-)

I got back from seeing it last night... It was incredibly beautiful. The 3+ hours you spend in the theater won't be noticed... the movie is very engrossing and things like time will seem mundane.

I was very fortunate to see a Matinee of it - less than 40 people in the entire theater. When I got out, there was a very long lineup of ticketholders for the evening showing.

I know I'll likely see it as many times as possible while it's in the theaters. In the meantime, I have the EEs of FOTR and TTT.
