Lord Of The Rings

Lord Of The Rings : All the magical adventure of J.R.R. Tolkien\'s thrilling fantasy classic comes to life in this brilliantly animated tale of the enchanted land of Middle Earth - and the brave band of hobbits, heroes and wizards who set out to protect it!

Okay, first off, I have three great praises for this movie:

1. The casting. I thought they did a really good job, and matched my images of these characters pretty well. All except one fatal mistake: casting Hugo Weaving as Elrond. I\'m sorry, but as a friend of mine said \"I just couldn\'t stop thinking about him saying \'Mr. Anderson\' in The Matrix.\"

2. The orcs. I thought they did an amazing job making them the ugly, evil bastards that they are.

3. I don\'t know how the hell they did it so well, but they managed to make the hobbits sufficiently smaller than the humans, wizards etc. It was amazing--even more amazing than how they put that handy yellow line on the football field on TV, and the players can walk right over it. Isn\'t technology wonderful?

As for how accurately they followed the story: pretty decent, considering all that they had to cram into a 3-hour movie.

And what will you receive for your eight bucks? An action-packed, suspense-filled, high-budget, fairly well-acted, good movie.
