Marvelous adaptation

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2001)

For any purists who are prejudiced against any version changing Tolkien's words like I was, the only way you can enjoy it is to let yourself enjoy it. There are many changes, some minor, some fairly major. Overall, though, this is undoubtedly the best live-action adaptation of the greatest fantasy epic there ever will be, so you might as well allow yourself to enjoy what's there, privately rue the changes, but don't let them take away from the great adaptation on screen. It is a wonderful, awesome adaptation. Enjoy.
