A rich fantasy world that I want to revisit again and again, an engrossing story, great cast, beautiful cinematography, and satisfying ending. While some things were a bit cheesy (like the special effects) and a bit over the top (the drama of the story is a bit much sometimes), it's hard to stop watching it, even though I've seen it before. I loved it even more the second time.

I also love that some of the side characters were so popular that a sequel was made to give them a better ending!
