Great Overall Movie Adaptation

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2015)

One Book to rule them all, one movie to top them, one publishing to start it all through Tolkien and Jackson they are binded. The reworkings of books to movies are now fashioned, they cannot be compared to this modification that has happened. And to make this great adaptation, they followed the storyline and through that they made an amazing transformation. The Biggest reason this is a great adaptation is they followed the main plot points and key features of this book. "Run you fools!" Gandalf quoted in the book AND movie This was (in my opinion) one of the most important plot points. In the book they (SPOILERS AHEAD) they went into the mines and Gandalf was killed. The way the movie portrayed this whole scene/chapter was almost exactly the same. In each Gandalf quoted "Run You Fools!" And this whole scene was the exact same from the book. In the end It turned out the same way. In the whole picture it was the same and brought the same picture. Therefore adapting it into a good movie. Another good similarity is how the characters were portrayed. "My Precious", says Gollum through missing rotted teeth. His emaciated body is evidence of his life in Middle-earth as a slave to the One Ring." This painted a very vivid picture of Gollum/Smeagol and in the movie as you see, it is SPOT on. The way gollum's craving for the ring was portrayed was exactly like the movie. And also It shows that the director put his time in to make the characters look good and that show it has effort and if there's effort its gotta be good. All in all the director really did an amazing job creating this movie adaptation, and I would recommend this book/movie to ANYONE!
