an injection of adrenaline!

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2002)

a lot of people have been saying that this is a film which appeals only to fans of the books, what utter bull. i read the books and hated them, however I LOVE THIS MOVIE! my sister is a fan of the books and she and i had a debate about changes made to the story, if anything these are improvements. *****spoiler******* such as the developed romance of aragorn and arwen, to me this improved aragorn's position as a main character, and made me care more about him because he stands more to lose. arwen rescuing frodo from the black riders ok we have enough male heros in this film, not to sound like a feminist, but give the girls a chance. once scene i really did like was when aragorn let frodo go, and was almost tempted by the ring. his inward struggle show his determination not to become isildur, and showed his strength as a future king. the thing that i really liked was that they left out tom bombadil, that was they most boring chapter ever written in a book. this is not just a mindless action movie it is a story of complex emotions, and relationship's between different races. those who say this is boring, what movie were you bloody watching! because it certainly wasn't this one. this is the best film ever made, no not the hype talking. a genuine masterpiece, 10/10 but why do we have to wait so long for the second one?
