Fabulous!

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2002)

And I hate using that word. But this movie, as the Fellowship of the Ring was, is top notch. I was really impressed with some of the way they did up some of the characters. Grimer Wormtongue and Smeagal were almost exactly what I had invisioned when I read the books long ago. The battle had me on the edge of my seat (literally) through out the entire thing. Elijah Wood has done a great job of transforming from the innocent Frodo to the Frodo becoming more and more seduced by the power of the Ring. These movies have been wonderfully casted. The only complaint I have so far about the casting choices, is from the Fellowship. Sean Bean acted the part of Boromir with excellence, but in my opinion he just didn't have the look. He just wasn't barbarian-ish enough.
