Very well done, a tribute to the novel

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2001)

When I first heard rumors that they were going to make a film about the lord of the rings novels, I had my doubts as I have found that the majority of films that have been made based on novels have never lived up to the book without seriously being adapted. As the release day came closer, I began to re-think my perspective on these sort of films, so when I watched the lord of the rings the other day, I must say that it was incredibly done!! It melded live actors and computer effects seamlessly and didn't try to overwhelm you with special effects even though you knew they were there. I STRONGLY recommend this film to anyone who enjoys fantasy or adventure films...this was such an enjoyable experience, from start to cliff hanger ending.
