You hit the nail on the head, Harmonia......

202.123.136.83

This film brings out the book's themes in such a visually complete way, that I for one was astounded.

Not to gush or go overbaord with the superaltives, but this is one helluva an adaptation. And of a book that I had always thought simply could not be translated to the siver screen.

I felt like I was transported to ME. Even with the deleted segments and obvious differences between my imagination's perspective and the director's vison (he made the Orcs much more menacing then I ever pictured them), I still was as completely lost in Tolkien's majesty as I had ever been reading the books. And that is what makes this one of the best screen adaptations I have yet seen.

Thanks,
Rob
