3 hours in a Fantasy World

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2002)

Well, I haven't read the book and watched the animation movie - which I didn't like - when I was a kid, but I like Peter Jackson's work and also a good adventure flick. I have to say that the first 30 minutes of the movie disappointed me and I was starting to agree with my wife, who did not see the movie because she got bored reading the book and left it. She probably stopped reading it before Frodo starts his quest, because that's where the adventure begins. After 30 long minutes I almost could not feel the other 2 1/2 hours pass in front of my eyes. It was a pity the movie ended in "only" 3 hours. I wanted more ! At that time I was so captured by the movie that it could goes forever. Everybody in the theater claimed for more but we will have to wait one year to see this great adventure continues.
