Another Masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (17 February 2003)

I do not agree with the first comment posted on this site; I think that this movie was brilliant. I have read all of Tolkiens books many times, and I can say that Peter Jackson sticks amazingly to the story (ESPECIALLY when compared to other movies based on books) having READ THE BOOKS HIMSELF, not to mention having the help of Ian McKellen. Plus, if all of the book had been put in this movie, it would be several hours longer, those of you who complained. Hmmm... maybe Jackson's going to add those into the 3rd movie, seeing as the 3rd book is the shortest (um, duuuuuh?)! The movie was exciting, beautiful, and brilliantly done.Sexy Elijah Wood gives another splendid performance, and no, the fact that he's sexy and a god is certainly not the reason I give this movie such support. The animation done with Andy Serkis is GREAT. Definitely a winner, to those who haven't AND have read Lord of the Rings.
