Are you a fan of the book?

Rating: 7/10 (1 November 2007)

If you are a fan of the book don't expect too much.The basic plot is the same but that is where it ends.They even had the cheek to totally change a major characters race!!! People have knocked the acting but it seemed on par with most Hollywood films (i know Ben Kingsley is it it but its not Gandhi)The film is worth watching for Aishwarya Rai as she is so beautiful. The fight scenes are realistic (apart from the lack of blood on swords) and it has some good comic moments. As a stand alone film it may never be a great but its still worth seeing. The sets are very good and on par with the Rome TV series and its funny with the connection between the 2 lol. I hope that if they do another of his books (i hope spartan) they will keep it a bit nearer to the story and maybe that means a longer film but i never saw people walking out of LOTR because of the films length.
