A better than fellowship of the ring *

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2003)

If you are an avid fan of LOTR books and you understood em', than you'll love this movie. I personally thought that this movie was better in the sense that it had more fierce battle scenes, new characters,etc. Most people say Fellowship was better because it had a greater variety of places.True, but this is how the book was meant to be, no more lenghty explanations or introduction. I can see how people who've never read the books not enjoy as much as I did maybe because the film makers did not give cleaner or further explanations as to what was going on.With me, I sat down and watched it and knew exactly what was going on.My brother, who'd never read the books, didn't understand everything like smeagol's past, about saruman, ents, etc.So my advice, read the books first ( of course they are much better than the movies, which is saying a crap lot about how good these books are ) and then watch the movie. Or if you've already watched, read the books, and watch it again and then you'll understand better what's going on and enjoy it a ton more.
