A brilliant epic of a film, but not without flaws

Rating: 9/10 (28 December 2001)

First of all, let me say that the movie was brilliant. I did not have much confidence in the director, because of his previous films. But I stand corrected. The direction on this movie is absolutely awesome. You can tell where the money was spent, which is needed to bring the magic of Middle Earth to life. The only gripe that is needed to be said is the cutting out of some characters and the adding of new ones. There is nothing majorly wrong with the film, but I would have liked to see old Tom singing and dancing for a couple of scenes. All in all an epic. Harry Potter Who?
