Lord of the rings copy

Rating: 5/10 (22 December 2005)

Behind the nice set and effects it reminds me a lot of Lord of the rings. here is why:

Unlikely heroes have to do epic battle and receive gifts to do it with - Run and hide scene with the beavers is almost the same as with the first encounter with the Black rider - return of a King that doesn't know it yet. - The mood of some sets (army camp of the witch) is similar to that of the Saruman camp (all smaller of course but still...) - change the animals to elfs and goblins... - traveling scenes with vast landscape and a group traveling on mountain tops... even the camera work is the same.

I am not familiar with the books I must admit but it is a thin story indeed. Or was the movie script badly written?
