Great movie, for those who don't expect the book

Rating: Null/10 (7 March 2003)

If you go to this movie because you enjoyed the books and want to see that played out on screen before you, you will probably be dissapointed with the changes made.People who worship the books will probably like FOTR better, its more true to the books. If you go to this movie to see a good movie, and aren't to picky about changes, you will most likely be swept away and think of it as one of your favorites. People who don't care if its changed will like this better.
I read the books and overall enjoyed them, but they got a bit boring at some points. When I saw the 1st movie the first time, I thought that nothing was better, but after seeing it several times I realized it did tended to drag at points. This one pretty much kept me awake at all times.
Gollum is excellent, the best computer generated character ever created, he's always been my favorite character in the book. The acting is fair, the action is great, the special effects are pretty well done, but are a little cheesy at points.
