Wonderful movie...

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2002)

I would never have thought 3 hours could pass so quickly and so entertainingly. Fabulous movie all round. There's a lot to get through in this movie as the first book of Tolkien's trilogy is all about setting the scene for what comes next. In doing just that, this movie covered the action admirably and what modifications to the detail in the book that were made, were made well and did not detract from the essence of the original story. Thoroughly enjoyable. Can't wait for the next installment!
