Does the book justice

Rating: 9/10 (23 December 2001)

I can't entirely agree with kylopod (kylopod@aol.com) that the movie doesn't completely do the book the justice it needs. To me, the movie never "dragged" at points, but was seamless. The book on the otherhand was boring for quite a bit of it. The Quidditch scenario was much more interesting on film than on paper (although I would have liked the speech given by Wood to his team in the film; but certain cuts must be made I guess).
I think the movie is great for anybody whether or not you've read the books. If you're a die-hard for the books you are probably going to be upset--yet I just can't see why for the life of me. If you're a Tolkeinite you should love this movie as it's interesting to see something many of us oppose so openly be so good and entertaining.
