American Aragorn

Rating: 1/10 (14 February 2004)

Amazing special effects have been used to mask Peter Jackson's mangling of the original plotline and script. Warning- this film is a prime example of a brilliant book being 'Americanised' i.e. hammered into the boy meets girl, girl loses boy, boy and girl reunite format. It has a couple of elvish words thrown in to preserve an illusion of adhering to the original book, but with Aragorn's American accent often intruding, this performance is hardly spell-binding.
