Parts of this movie are even more wonderful than the book

Rating: 10/10 (10 October 2019)

When I read a book, particularly a favorite such a Lord of the Rings: Fellowship, I form pictures in my mind of the characters, settings, and events. When such a book has been adapted into a movie, I have found that the movie, no matter how good it is, almost never lives up to what is already in my head. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship Is that VERY rare movie that not only measures up to, but in some parts exceeds the beauty and wonder I had pictured while reading the book. The section in the Mines of Moria actually went way beyond anything I had pictured while reading the book. Rivendell also exceeded what I had imagined, though not to the amazing extent of the Mines of Moria.
