first off and i be a huge fan of tolkien and and a one i will base most of my critic on his book . the movie be a standard adventure movie and well make with nifty special effect and nice sound track and fine acting . now if this movie be call something else than lord of the ring the review wouldn not be half this good a they be here . the problem of the movie be that it take the basic story line from tolkien book but then it go and hollywood everything it can and numerous scene from the book be eight miss or change quite a lot and the character be change from the book also and a thing that i think should be punishable . what the movie lack be deep insight of the character in it and i know that it be almost impossible to make a good film out of a good book and and it do not work here eighter and mostly the motivation of the character be leave hazy at best . a a adventure movie it would rate 7 plus or 10 a a adaptation of tolkien it rate 2 or 10i mean honestly and what on earth be arwen do at rivendell ford . and a for the comment that this movie be the best ever i can only say that eighter you be very young and or you havent see good movie . peter jackson should have call this movie an adventure movie base on the lord of the ring .
