The film will never match the book, but...

Rating: Null/10 (22 December 2001)

...it was a very well produced movie.
It's been 10 years since I read the trilogy, and after watching the movie, lots of memories came to my mind. Of course, some things were changed from the original plot outline in the books, but I think that the film has become a great breakthrough in the history of the 7th art.
I like mostly the part where we feel the presence of evil on the ring. It's creepy how the ring emanates such a malign power, and the characters feel helpless against such a menace.
The image of Sauron's eye, his spirit, the Ringwraiths, and the land of Mordor are perfectly portrayed on the movie. It almost looks like the situations shown on the books. I think that's the most important thing about the realization of the film: everything turns around the One Ring, the One to Rule them All. Forget about the Fellowship, Gollum, Bilbo, the Orks, and all that spins around it. The movie focuses mainly on the ring, the origin of all the trouble.
