This movie have met my expectations.

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2002)

I shall say that this is a fantastically made movie. I've been studying Mr. Tolkien's writings for years. My opinion is that Tolkien had successfully accomplished his experiments with creation of myths. For those who want to start to read "The Lord of the Rings" Trilogy, I would suggest to start from "Hobbit." Of course for those who watched the "The Lord of the Rings" for many times, this movies is nothing more than a "very-cool-movie." These people must understand that Tolkien's books are highly philosophical. You ask me why? Well, I have to say one thing. Read his books more closely. I would also suggest reading the following books: BILBO'S LAST SONG; UNFINISHED TALES; THE SILMARILLION; THE HOBBIT; TOLKIEN: MASTER OF FANTASY by B. Green; MYTH MAKER: JRRT by Anne Neimark; TOLKIEN: A CRITICAL ASSESSMENT by Brian Rosebury; JRRT: THE ART OF THE MYTH-MAKER, Starmont House; ONE RING TO BIND THEM ALL: TOLKIEN'S MYTHOLOGY by Anne C. Petty.
