It was an animated picture, and far from perfect..., but much more interesting, and more faithful to Tolkien´s spirit than the mucho dollars new version by Mr. Jackson and his crew, with that foolish Frodo Elijah Wood, that Wooden Prince Mortensen, and those New Age languid Elves, including the most insipid Elf Lady, later Human Queen, you could find anywhere, Liv Tyler..., and a pretty poor direction, lacking any true sense of filmic rhythm!It seems they run short of funds to complete their task, so this film ended after having covered just one half of the trilogy, with the battle at Helm´s Deep, and with Frodo, Sam and Gollum reaching Mordor; but they worked hard, and brought up something filled with imagination, and pretty exciting...
Any memories, anybody?
