Absolutely brilliant!

Rating: Null/10 (21 December 2002)

There is another comment on this web page which I think is ridiculous. I am a huge fan of the Tolkien work, and have read the Lord of the Rings a couple of time now, and have just seen the second film. Though Peter Jackson has not followed the book precisely, the film is absolutely amazing - I believe even to people who have not read Tolkien's works. I can understand why some parts were left out of the film, but Peter Jackson has not 'invented' any storyline, nor betrayed any Lord of the Rings fans. Certainly there have not been 5 chapters omitted as this other comment suggests.

In all, the film was excellent - as was the first. I can't see how Jackson could possibly live up to what is expected of the third film, but I'm sure he will! Please go and see this film - Tolkien himself would have been proud I think.
