A great film

Rating: 10/10 (25 August 2002)

I am a huge fan of Prof Tolkien's works especially his writings of Middle-Earth. I felt that this film stayed extremely faithful to the books. Although some parts of the books have been moved or changed in the films, such as Arwen being given a larger role in the Fellowship of the Ring it still stayed as close to the books a possible. Another great point about the film was the casting. I knew who each character was before seeing their name. For example when I was shopping with my parents, I saw a jig-saw puzzle of LOTR and their was one character who I hadn't seen in the mags I had bought I still however recognised that it was Elrond, the elven lord of Rivendell. One other feature that makes the film so good, the cute guys! All in all this film is one of the best films of all time and I'm sure the next two are going to be.
