Too Damn Long

Rating: 6/10 (14 June 2004)

It was an amazing movie, but it was a book. It can not be judged against other great movies. Star Wars, Matrix, and Indiana Jones are better trilogies because they were original. Peter Jackson isn't a god and this movie wasn't that powerful. It merely destroys the book for millions.
I cant read the book without having my own imagination take place anymore. I think of each character as what i see in the movie. Its no longer a movie based on a book, but a book based on the movie. THe magic of reading this timeless classic is lost. I read the first 2 before the movies came out. I never finished the 3rd because it lost all magic.
