Excellent Film

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2002)

Peter Jackson did a wonderful job translating the book into the movie. Every part was close to how I imagined it when I read the book. The movie does not have much character development, but as the middle of 3 books and predominately action oriented, this is too be expected. The battle of Helm's Deep was incredible, and the albeit skewed timing of events was spot on and correct for the adaptation. (Ents destroying Isengard after Helm's Deep instead of before)
Overall excellent movie 10 stars
