The best movie made from a book I have ever seen!

Rating: 9/10 (23 February 2005)

I have imagined every scene in the Lord of the Rings story after I read the book. After watching this movie, those imaginations came to my eyes. Everything that I have imagined so long has appeared realistic in the movie. This movie is a bit different from the book. Some places are cut, and some are changed. This makes audiences who have not read the book a little confused. I think this is not a bad idea to change and cut the story though. After cutting many scenes from the book, the movie is still nearly three hours long, if the whole thing is put into the movie, I guess it would be at least eight hours. I think it's a bit too long for a movie, and it will be really boring. Other than this, the modifications of the story are good. It made the story more suitable for a movie. A good example is in some fighting scenes, they cut some dialog and moves of the characters and added more action for them. This makes the rhythm of that scene faster and more intense. This movie used a lot of computer cinematics. I think the technique is very high. The one that impressed me most was Isengard. Those underground 'factories' of Uruk-hais was very detailed. Everything was minuteness, even the farthest and smallest object.
