One ring to bring us all

Rating: Null/10 (21 February 2002)

A three hour long film about elves, dwarves and hobbits didn't appeal to me at first, I preferred Harry Potter, but after seeing Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter was spoilt.A brilliant film. I started to read The Hobbit a couple of years ago, but failed, after seeing Lord of the Rings, I've started the trilogy. The film is a brilliant adaption of the book, the characters are exactly the way you imagine them. I think that Elijah Wood was brilliant, he acted so innocently and you almost imagine him being a hobbit in real life.Pippin and Merry made us all chuckle, and they reminded me of my friends (no offence to them!) Strider was outstanding, his sword fighting brilliant and Viggo Mortensen portrayed him so well, and Orlando Bloom as Legolas, well..... his archery and delicate footwork made him one of the best characters in the film, but that has to be beaten by Sir Ian. A magnificent actor, playing the part of Gandalf as it should be- strong and fierce. After the first time, I went to see it again, twice! This will always be one of the best films, a classic.
