LOTR's for the entire family!

Rating: 9/10 (12 December 2005)

The adaptation of "Jack" Lewis' story was extraordinary for a major motion picture. Although a few liberties were taken (like the Fox playing such a big part and no mention of the "Emperor by the Sea") all in all it was remarkable.
The best thing about the movie, in my opinion, was the fact that it is so good and yet very family friendly. For example: I have a fellow co-worker who took his 5 year old. His son can never sit through a 90 minute movie let alone one as long as LWW. But with 1/2 hour to go he said to his Dad, "I got to go potty, but I'll wait." He was that captured by the film. LWW is of that quality... Lord of the Rings excitement but for every member of the family. Don't miss this flick!
Here's my synopsis:
The acting was very good to excellent. The film visually was stunning. The special effects were very good to excellent. (one or two cgi missteps were noticeable) The Directing was excellent. The adaptation was excellent.
