Brilliant

Rating: Null/10 (21 December 2001)

The movie has great and wonderful special effects, but "Lord of the Rings" purist might not like it that much. It has deviated slightly from the book, with quite a lot deleted. I found the storyline a bit disappointing, as I have read the book, but I was glad to see that Peter Jackson decided to add in the part about the relationship of Aragorn and Arwen, in the movie, while it was only in the Appendix of "The Return of the King".
The actors were absolutely brilliant too, and I enjoyed listening to the Elvish. Orlando was pulling those arrows out so quickly, that he looked weird. John probably had a hard task in playing Glimli.

It is a great movie and you will enjoy it if you haven't read the book.
