Lord of the Rings review

Just saw it at last.


Amazing cinematography. Great direction. But, an hour too long and far too horrific for an under 10 to watch.


Cheers,

needed to be about 3 hours longer... if you've read the books, you'll know why. other than that, i loved it. ive seen it 5 times already...

I loved it. I think I would have loved it as an eight-year-old. Younger than that might be iffy.

I think it would be impossible to do it justice in a 3 (or maybe even 6) hour movie. This really needed to have the same kind of time allotted to something like Roots in a TV mini-series in order to hope to do it reasonable justice.


By the way, I thought the orc-chieftain was simply awesome.

i said 6 as a loose example. it truly should take a long ass time to do the books right, but i think peter jackson and crew did a really great job with everything. you could tell they put their hearts into the movie to make it good. they geek hard.
