One complaint

Rating: 1/10 (11 April 2002)

I am reading the book stimulated by this breath taking picture, and I find it owe much part of it success to the novel. Much has been dropped to put the story into a film in the 3 short hours and somewhat shrunken to a Black-Riders-chase-Hobbits tale. But I approve this compromise because the chase is a very suitable subject for movies. I have one complaint,however, that I had a difficulty getting a hang of the geography, how fast the Enemy is approaching,how much distance the Fellowship gain and so on. Good performances,incredible effects and a story very touching at some parts, I give it 8 out of 10.
