Amazing Movie

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2015)

This was a great movie to watch. I watched this after first reading the book. I was very surprised with the quality of the story line, acting, and CGI. The way that the story line molded to the book was great; it almost followed the book exactly, and even added some details that cleared up some confusing elements that were in the story. The actors were very into their roles and they all seemed to really adopt into their characters, especially with Aragorn.
There is a reason though, that I do not give it a 10/10. I did not like how they removed parts of the story that I felt were very important. The entire scene of the forest and Tom Bombadil were cut out. This disappointed me because the encounter with Tom gave the story a little bit of hope showing that not all people are affected by the ring. Also, the addition of a love story between Aragorn and Arwen was a little random. In the book, Arwen does not have such a major role, yet in the movie, her role was played out in giving Aragorn bravery.
All in all though, it was a great movie and it was done well. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys the books or people who just enjoy this genre.
