This is more like it.

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2002)

Being a big fan of the books, I have to say I was a little disappointed with the first movie. For me it played more like a video game then a film. It was OK, but I found the Two Towers to be a much better stand alone movie. It was three hours of pure movie entertainment. Great action, great background (both computer generated and real life), great acting, and gullum was just unreal. Even the part with the live trees was OK, I never thought they would be able to pull that off. All in all it was just great fun. This is not a movie for real young children. There were a few sitting close by us and they were really scared, keep the kiddies at home.
