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.
