Beautiful adaptation!

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2002)

Peter Jackson made what all directors that adapts books should make: tell the story putting the atmosphere of the book in the film. I have read the book and the film is very close. You can see it without reading the book and vice-versa. One completes the other. The effects are also very good. They are so appropriate that sometimes you don't feel them happening. And this is what makes a good special effect: when it's so natural that you can't see it. The actors are perfect. Christopher Lee has a remarkable interpretation as Sauron. Great actor. I think that the other two movies should come soon. One year is too much time and it can make people lose their interest for the coming movies.
