Good Movie

Rating: Null/10 (21 January 2002)

I have read Lord of the Rings some time ago and I felt compelled to see this movie. Bombadil was left out, but that was no problem for the story. I must say that I liked it a lot! The actors performed well. I especially liked Gandalf (Sir Ian Mckellen), Saruman (Christopher Lee) and Boromir (Sean Bean). I liked the way Peter Jackson portreyed the seduction of the ring. My favorite was the way Bilbo turned into a bit of a Gollem in Rivendel when he wanted to see the ring. The role of Saruman has been expanded, but this was quite useful the explain the arrival of the Uruk-Hai(halfOrks). and the point of view of the evil. The only part that was up for approvement, was the final part which lasted to long (Frodo's goodbye and Boromir's death).
But over all, splendid job!
