Thrilling movie for a rainy day

Rating: 9/10 (13 May 2015)

This movie is full of action and mayhem at its finest. Tolkien's novel is vividly unfolded in this adaption of the famous book. The Nazgul are well done, as are the landscapes. However, the scene with the Balrog vs Gandalf and the mordor landscape, plus the eye of sauron can be very terrifying for children, even me an 18 year old. The way they depict Moria is outstanding, and it is generally a good film. Keep in mind that the balrog, Moria and the dead dwarfs, the eye of sauron and the orcs will scare little children. And Saruman might frighten children as well. Orlando Bloom as Legolas was a great choice and yes the scenes are intense. Otherwise it is a great film.
