Tolkien = genius.

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2005)

WOW. This is a classic. no doubt about it. Elijah wood is perfectly cast as the lovely hobbit from the shire. Ian mckellen is a wonder as the wise and charming wizard Gandalf. hell, the whole cast is perfect!The scenery is beautiful, which perfectly mirrors Tolkiens view of middle earth. This is such a moving film, be prepared for some blubbering. merri and pippin are just delightful as the lovable idiots.If you like films with romance, danger, action, adventure,horror,friendship and a noble battle against evil, you will love this. words cant really describe how great this is. so i wont bother. watch it for yourself. bum numbing genius.
