More action in the book, more action in the movie

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2002)

I thought the Fellowship was fantastic, and this just blew me away. I really think it is due to the fact that the story just gets better in the second book. Peter Jackson cuts no corners, and the casting and add-in scenes and lines that differ slightly from the book are phenomenal. The best transition from movie to book I have ever seen. Special FX with Gollum and Treebeard are TOP NOTCH. Very true to the book in every aspect. Only part of the movie I found odd was Eowen throwing herself at Aragorn. I didn't think it was necessary, but I think they are just trying to attract the female audience. Gimli's lines are comedically well written, and Legolas is still the favorite in my book.
