Well worth waiting for!

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2002)

I've waited for this film for 21 years, ever since I first read The Lord of the Rings. But it was well worth the wait! Okay, so it isn't exactly like the book, it's still a magical movie. It's closer to the book than I dared to expect, and the changes to the original story are understandable. After all, this is a film, not the book itself. It's a long film but it kept me in my seat till the very end, and even that came too soon for me. Absolutely magnificent, even after seeing it a couple of times. I can hardly wait for the DVD!
