Astounding

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

I'm sure it's all been said before, but seeing this movie is a great experience. The three hours pass quickly and you're left wanting to see more. The compressions and changes at the first of the story omit nothing vital and actually retain some nice details. If you haven't read Tolkien before, don't be afraid. This is a great introduction to the novel.
