Excellent Movie

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2004)

Many years ago I read The Hobbit and the three Rings. Afterwards I read them again. I need to do it a third time.
While I admit the movie leaves out the problems confronting the hobbits when they return to the Shire, it is an excellent movie. The three movies are more than I could ever have hoped for. I cannot imagine this kind of undertaking, and I deeply am grateful for those who did it.
As for the actors, I liked them all. Sean Astin was my favorite. He displayed such caring and a range of emotions that is amazing since he is not English, but is American. His superb allegiance to Frodo who sometimes rebukes him displays the fine qualities of good friendship.
But for them all, thank heavens I lived to see them.
