One Film to Rule them All

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2015)

This film was altogether a great film. For those who have not read the book would agree that it was a great adventure full of action and fantasy, but for those who have would agree that the movie almost brought complete justice to the book. The movie rode right alongside the book's story line. There was, although a scene that was completely taken out.In Tolkien's book, there is a section where the company, as they walk through the Old Forest, are attacked by trees but are saved by a character named Tom Bombadil. Tom takes the company to his house where they are fed and are given a place to sleep. Frodo has a dream there where he sees a man on a tower and jumps onto an eagle. This dream foreshadowed what had happened to Gandalf while the company was at the Inn at the Prancing Pony. Also, when at Tom's house, the company see that Tom is not affected by the master ring which is very peculiar.This would have been a very interesting scene to see if it had been put into the movie. Other than this scene, the movie was very pleasing and it was difficult to criticize because of how superior it was. Even though this large scene was left out and some scenes were either changed or added in, it was an extraordinary film.
