Won me over!

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2003)

LOTR passed me by as a teenager and it was only the chance hiring of FOTR on video that alerted me to the delights of Middle Earth.
Peter Jackson has done something right if he can get a forty-something suddenly interested in a whole new world.
Having seen the film I read The Hobbit and then the LOTR trilogy, just started The Silmarillion. Excellent reading, the only sadness is having left it so long before falling under the spell
The film rates as one of the best I have seen and no, I do not mind if it differs from the books. The extended DVD is even better, although it has caused me to lose sleep watching all the goodies on it.
10/10 Mr Jackson!
