A Win in a seemingly No-Win situation.

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2002)

Everyone has their own ideas about this story. We all have
visualized the Hobbits , Dwarves, wizards Orcs etc, so there was a
good chance that Jackson would offend most of us some of the
time with his portrayal of the characters. Even given the sections
left out, I though he did a stirling job with this monumental task,
and I think its a good job it was released after Harry Potter and the
Philosophers Stone, as that film would have seemed even more
disappointing if it was released later. I await with impatience the
release of film number two!
