With a moral. A not to be missed movie. Not perfect, but what is in this world? Even Tolkien's books dragged a bit in spots IMO.Interestingly, I found the portrayal of some scenes like the Shire, Rivendell, Lorien, the King's statues, Isengard and the Mines of Moriah close or even better than I had imagined them. The Black Riders, Orcs and Balrog were great!
A greater emphasis on battles and big scenes is to be expected. Even then it's a three hour movie. Limit intake of liquids if you don't want to miss anything.
Not for younger kids, IMO. Pretty violent and scary I would think.
