Not bad considering it is based on a book I apparently never read.

Rating: 6/10 (19 December 2002)

If you want to see a good movie, check this out. If you want to see a faithful adaptation of Tolkien, either in action or in character's personalities, or in the spirit of the book, avoid this one like the plague.
The only characters portrayed loyally to Tolkien were Gollum and Eowyn, who were excellent.
Other than that, the plot matches almost nothing to the book and the depiction of Elrond goes even further downhill. There is a limit to dramatic license.
