The greatest letdown of my life.

Rating: 1/10 (23 August 2009)

I am a great fan of Tolkien writings. In fact, I have read the trilogy of The lord of the Rings about eight time before I saw the movie. And boy, was I in for a big let down. I really toughed the characters were different from the book. Gandalf was nowhere as interesting as in the original stories. And where was Tom Bombadil? Of course, nobody cares about poetry or beauty. And there was not a whole lot in this movie. But in the books! Plenty. And to read somewhere that Jackson read passages from the book while filming this. And to think that a Whole Generation of non-readers will think that this is the Lord of the Rings. Please, do yourself a favour and go read the book instead. In the top 25 movies of the new Millennium. To me, that's absolutely amazing to see.
