Great book, great film

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2002)

I went to see the movie the day I finished reading to book. It totally blew me away! Everything was so perfect, from screenplay to props to visual FX.
A lot from the book was simplified or deleted, but that's unavoidable when you're translating something from one format to another. Unlike other recent fantasy films (like Episode One), the Visual FX primarily help tell the story, without overwhelming it.
Anyway, This is definitely the best film of the year. Some films deserve to be hyped up!
