Pretty good

Rating: 8/10 (29 May 2006)

Considering that they were working with a really wordy book, they all did a really good job of telling the story.
I didn't like the fact that Tom B was taken out of LOTR, but as in that case and this, some details need to be put aside.
If they went the whole hog in detail, than only a few would see the movie and another like it would not get made. Of course, anyone who wants to use a camcorder, can now go on a tour of the sites and create a web version on their own dime, but i think they did a fine job as it is.
Can't wait to see the DVD version and hope there was a lot of extra film to be put back in....
