Don't listen to those naysayers...

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

I was just scrolling through the various comments people left, and among the "WOW" and the "AWESOME!" I found a few that were downright insulting to the movie. I won't quote names, but several suggested committing suicide based on the length of the movie. Well, the Lord of the Rings was not made for the casual movie-goer. It, much in the same fashion as the DUNE movie and mini-series, is a dramatization of a literary work. It has it's faults *when compared to other movies*, but when viewed by it's target audience is a great work of special effects, acting, sound effects and scenery that brings the books to life. It's a given that there will be those who didn't like it, but if you are a fan of the books, to you this movie will definately earn it's ten stars out of ten, if not more.
If, on the other hand, you did not like, or did not read, any of the three books, don't see it.
