Whether or not you've read the books, you'll love it!

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2002)

I am a huge Tolkien fan - to the nerdiest degree. My mother, on the other hand, has never read any of the books. We both absolutely loved this film. I thought it was beautiful and epic and everything I'd hoped it would be. The casting was perfect...Sean Astin was born to play Sam Gamgee. My mom's only complaint was that she has to wait a whole year for Two Towers!
