Tolkien detail in books, Peter Jackson detail in Vision

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2009)

What can I say, the Lord of the rings movies are my all time favourite movies. One thing that I noticed in these films is that every single one of the actors are really good and well casted to say the least. I have seen the 4 hour making off that goes with it and boy they added so much detail in this film, a few examples the small houses of the hobbits are not digital they are actuelly and only digitally edited. they put little smoke pots in the houses to make smoke come out of the chimneys. I especially liked lady Galadriel, Cate Blanchett in this film, she's so beautiful! I have spoken to a lot of people and they are complaining that there is too little action in this one. But a fantasy doesn't need action to be a good film. For people that wonder about the amazing structures of orthanc and barad-dur they aren't digital. They are very big miniatures, or as someone might call them bigatures.
I had little hope too of making this fantastic book into films, but as Tolkien puts detail in his story, Peter Jackson puts details in the visual version. I didn't had the privilege to see this in the cinema but I sure did for the next 2 parts.
