Never read the books and loved it

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2006)

Since I've never read the books I can simply comment on the movie as a stand-alone work of art. It was a fantastic film full of great effects and wonderful scenery. The CG effects were top notch and the story was quite good. The good versus evil story has been told millions of times over but this is one that needs to be seen. If you enjoy fantasy movies of any kind this should be on your "must see" list. I do have friends who have read the books and seen the film and they were very pleased with the film as well. This is one movie that I will definitely add to my collection when it comes out on DVD. I took my kids to see it (they're 7 and 5 (twins) ) and they enjoyed it and were quiet throughout as their attention was riveted to the screen.
