This film is a classic

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2002)

This movie just grows on you. Each viewing reveals more detail and a greater appreciation of what a classic movie this is. Have now seen the movie as often as I have read the book. Since we are all programmed to think in pictures must say I prefer the film to the book. There are parts of the book that I think should have been included in the movie but do not know how a 9 hour movie would go down with an R18 rating. I for one hope the DVD release includes obvious cuts that were filmed and we allowed to hit the pause butoon for breakfast and second breakfast. I for one think this is the movie of the decade so far. I am sure the second episode from my point of view will eclipse this first instalment-just hope treebeard and the ents live up to the expectations I now have. Peter Jackson has achieved with the FOTR more than I expected. I now expect TTT to eclipse the first instalment as this is merely a warm up to more magic.
