overall pretty good

Rating: 9/10 (29 December 2001)

Like most people i have read the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. To set those at ease that have not seen the movie, you are missing out. Although the movie lacks specific details from the book, Peter Jackson does a good job portraying Tolkien's creative story. Before I saw this I was also afraid that I would endure another 2 hrs of garbage destroying a classic. Thankfully, im glad to say that my $6.75 has been put to good use. If you haven't seen LOTR yet GO RIGHT NOW! Its a 3 hr movie but personally i thought it wasn't long enough. I can't wait for the 2nd movie to come out. If i dare say it is comparable to the Star Wars series which is also a great series. For those who love to debate Which is better Star Wars or Lord of the Rings? the world may never know . . . . .
