Love it in a different way then the books.

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2001)

I have read the Lord of the Rings since I was in grammar school and I must say that I was nervous when I heard that it was going to be made into this huge movie trilogy. I even contemplated not seeing it. After much thought I decided to take the chance and see it. I loved it,though in a totally different way from how I love the books. The book in itself is a marvellous piece of literature, and the movie really brings it to life. It is a visual spectacle and should not be missed by people who have read and loved the books and by people who have not yet experienced them. The characters are beautifully drawn out and the settings are wonderful. I re-read the book after I saw the movie and was amazed at how well it was followed even though many thing where cut or changed. I put them into two different categories and see them as seperate from one another. Both are amazing and unique in both of their mediums of story telling.
