I loved it....

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2006)

I honestly don't know why everyone is saying that the movie was awful.. it's one of the best 'long movie's that I have ever seen! For the whole 2 1/2 hours I was never bored; always on the edge of my seat anticipating what was about to happen. I think Director Ron Howard cut out all the right bits (for example, the backwards writing part was solved in the film instantly, whereas it took FOREVER in the novel).
If people go into this movie hoping to see another Lord of the Rings, they 'll be disappointed. However, if you go into this movie wanting to see a nice little adventure with a good plot and a few good jokes (My favourite being from the book - Quick! We need to find a library!) then you won't be disappointed.
