good

Rating: 9/10 (24 March 2003)

I really enjoyed this film. The flow and score mixed superbly to transport me to Middle-earth and allow an atmosphere that seemed truthful to the story. I have not read the books and probably never will, so I could care less if the movie stayed true to the writings. It was enjoyable and fascinating, completely compelling and thought provoking. Though the second one lacks the charisma and charm of the first, I look forward to the third installment.
