Great Job!

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2003)

I was pretty impressed by the job that PJ and company did with this film. As a long-time fan of Tolkien, I did miss some of the parts that were left out of the story as well as the changes that were made to the overall storyline in order move it from print to the big screen. However, I completely understand the constraints that the director was under and think that he did a marvelous job within them. In fact, I was moved to tears several times during the film and was powerfully stirred at others. I feel that if a director can accomplish that, he has been successful.
All I can say is: Great Job, Peter! I hope that Christopher Tolkien relents and allows the filming of "The Hobbit".
