Not too shabby.. Much better than the stupid cartoon

Rating: 9/10 (18 November 2002)

Well, what can I say.. This movie was great! The only problem is, those who do not know the story or who have not read the book have NOT A CLUE about what is happening.. I myself, who has read the book twice was still left a little confused at certain bits. The acting was alright as well. Ian Mcklellan was a MAJOR asset to the film and greatly made up for the acting of Elijah Wood (who has creepy eyes). The other characters were good though, not much to criticize.
What else, hmmm... the special effects were marvelous... This really made the film work.. A great improvement from the cartoon, which, frankly sucked.
Altogether, I recommend you see this film. It was worth the 3 hours of time spent.
