Another Epic Chapter of LOTR

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2013)

Haters gonna hate! I am big LOTR fan having red most of the books and still sometimes checking wiki- related pages to refresh the knowledge I have about the Tolkien's fantasy world, I am still amazed by Peter Jackson's interpretation in these books. He clearly demonstrates that he undestands the dynamics of the book and adapts the story to cinema in a better way to enhance audience's experience. I totally advocate Peter Jackson's way of adapting the books to the cinema world. Although Tolkien's world is amazing, movies (even adaptations) are not supposed to follow the books precisely. You should leave some of the content to the director's interpretation and imagination. I loved all the characters and acting in the second movie and it has already become one of my favorite movies of all time. It was great to see Gandalf casting spells, Legolas bouncing around as a great warrior, dwarfs fighting in harmony, and the magnificence of the dragon Smaug. I was thrilled to my bones while watching hoping that it will never finish. I just hope that the third movie will be even more epic and thrilling and I hope it will not be the end for Tolkien adaptations to Hollywood.
