Superb! An excellent adaptation despite the differences from the book

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2002)

I checked this out last night. Its was as good, if not better then the Fellowship of the ring. I loved Gollum, he was quite seamless and was hard to recognize as a CG character, Andy Serkis did the voice perfectly.
As impressive as Gollum was I thought Treebeard stole the show. The reviews I have been reading have indicated that Treebeard looked somewhat fake. I disagree, superb job. This movie will go down as one of the greatest ever.
Mr. Jackson and WETA have raised the bar so high with this movie, everyone will be scrambling to catch up.
Five Stars *****
Hope you enjoy.
