Superb acting brings the book to life

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2002)

A magnificent film! For once hollywood has managed to leave the story intact (well almost). This interpretation of a magical book is superb, the actors have really worked hard to bring the fantasy alive. The sensitive use of special effects really enhances the story and are not overdone. I can't wait for the next installment, if they have re-created the 'Ents' as well as they re-created the 'Balrog' then we're in for another treat.
Well done!
