Inspired me to read the books!

Rating: 10/10 (29 October 2003)

Reading Tolkien's series was always something I would "get around to". This movie, and it's sequel "The Two Towers" inspired me to buy myself the books with some Christmas money I received. I have been reading several pages of the book a day (It's a 1000 page volume) and am enjoying it as much as the movie.
The movie is beautiful, but 3 hours is not nearly enough time to capture all the detail in the book. It is a mere sketch by comparison.
The scenery is beautiful, the adventure and acting are incredible. I watch it over and over again, and I see something new each time.
