I watched the first movie, and recently the second, and I am now reading the book.

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2003)

I cannot compare the book to the movie, but to put it mildly, watching the movie makes me want to read the book. The special effects, the amazing characters, the unbelievable scenes that no one would believe would be possible, .... This movie is definitely a must-see for anybody who is remotely into sci-fi or fantasy. WOW !!!!!!!
This is a great continuation of the first movie "The Fellowship". Frodo is growing more knowledgeable right before your eyes, as the ring slowly "pulls him by the neck and strangles him". (not literally) You also see a very over cautious Samwise Gamgee. And, of course, the (virtual) introduction of Gollum. He is amazing in how he acts throughout the movie. His character alone rivals the spotlight with Frodo and Samwise.
Well, this is my first attempt at a review, and I hope it's alright. I hope everyone enjoys the movie as much as I did. I'm sure you will.
