Just a few words of praise

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2001)

I am not going to write much here as it has all probably been said before. I am a huge, no, a HUGE fan of J.R.R. Tolkiens great work and as a fan of the books I was shocked by the changes the Peter Jackson has made to the them when bringing it to film. But I have to say that while there are a few scenes where I personally dont understand why he changed them, this does not detract from what has become one of the greatest cinema moments of my life.
If you go into this film as a fan of the books alone then you will be disappointed (as one of my friends where) but if you go in as a fan of the books and a fan of film then you will be a happy man/woman.
This is what cinema has been missing for a along time, truly great visual and emotional experience.
