Can't wait for the next book

Rating: Null/10 (20 December 2001)

Yes it's not the same as the book but what film ever is. That said I was amazed how some of the descriptions put in the book came to life on screen. Frodo looked wimpish probably due to the actor playing the part. I always imagined him a bit more tough looking but create portrayal. The film does not jump across the first book like I imagined it would, yes it does speed along but are we going to sit and watch 6 hours on screen instead of reading a book, I don't think so.
I have read the books at least 6 times and watch the animated version over 10 times so I am possible biased in my views, but I can't wait until next week during the xmas holidays to see it again and will but it as soon as it is available on DVD.
The Orcs are brilliant and the elves just magic, I thought the dwarf may have been less hairy and a bit more earthy looking, but the characters were almost like I imagined.
As I say Can't wait until the two towers is released and the the final episode.
Go and see and enjoy it as a movie and nothing else
