good, but from a LOTR geek...

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2002)

I think the acting is fantastic, and if someone didn't know the story from the books it would flow well enough for them. However, from a LOTR geek, I've counted about 42 mistakes, and the theme of majicks being inside wasn't shown at ALL. Hopefully it will in the next movie. As long as I don't let all the mistakes bother me (WHY does Arwen have such a big part, and WHY is there no Tom Bombadil?), it makes for a classic movie.
