I agree. I read the Hobbit when I was a kid and was completely taken in by that story. Even today I can still remember many of the names of the characters laid out in the book. When I saw the Lord of the Rings movie early this year, I was completely enchanted to see the many characters come to life on the big screen.

I am sure that my previous love for the story biased my opinion about the film somewhat. However, when I try to stand back and judge the film objectively, I still find that it is a very well directed film. I found some of the special effects a little cheesy, but many of the others were done well. I found the film to strike a better chord than did the Harry Potter film, however, I never read any of the Harry Potter books, so I could be biased there.
