Clearly Depicts the Imagination

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2001)

I just wanted to say that I have a really clear depiction of what the Middle Earth should look like, and how all the characters should look like since the first time I read these books (including the Hobbit) when I was about 10 to 12 years old. And this movie has been very successful in depicting that imagination.
Thumbs up for the interpretation of the Golumn!! The casting was really done with extra care so that each actor/ actress really represents each character well.
I also would like to express some little (very little) disappointment on how very "Hollywood" is the scene of the wizards' battle (reminded me much of the Matrix!) and how much it made me think that the wizard are old kung fu masters instead of, well, wizards! The death scene of Boromir was probably slightly over dramatized as well.
Besides that, I don't think I can complain about the movie at all. In fact, I love way Middle Earth is portrayed in such colossal scale, and they special effects are just magical (check out Bilbo's dark induced rage in an attempt to get the ring back).
I can't wait for the second... and third production!!
