My favorite book is now my favorite movie.

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2001)

As of this writing I've seen this movie twice now. The first time I was really comparing the movie to the book and thus came away from it with a few complaints. I didn't feel as though I got the sense that the Hobbits were on a long journey, at least the same way I do when I read the book. But then I realized that it's a movie and as such the pacing needs to be different.
The second time I went I could really enjoy the movie on it's own merits and thus have to say that in my opinion it's the best movie ever.
