Faithful telling of great story

Rating: 10/10 (21 April 2002)

One of the all-time great fantasy works comes to the screen in nearly-faithful fashion. For those of us who read the books, this is a very special treat. Special effects and music are flat-out awesome, acting is almost as good, particularly the characters of Gandalf, Aragorn and Frodo. Liv Tyler is also great in expanded Arwen role. A definite must-see.
