It was better than i expected. and as far as book-to-movie movies go i'd say it does it more justice than most. here are my complaints though :-D<P><I>Merry & Pippen:</I> these characters are reduced to nothing more than comic relief<P><I>Elrond:</I> i just dont like the guy who played him. Every time he spoke i remembered him in the matrix. I think the guy who played "grant" in the jurasic park movies would've been great<P><I>Gandalf:</I> He looked TOO old and frail, can you say sean connory? he would of been great.<P><I>NO TOM</I> enough said<P><I>cave troll</I> it looked like a bug eyed rhino.<P><I>sauron</I> he was alright, but lets face it. they couldnt do him justice.<P>I do however have some positive things to say...<P><I>balrog</I> it was awesome, unbelieveable. (and winged)<P><I>actors</I> good casting for the most part i thought<P><I>parallel to book</I> no it isnt perfect, but it did a fairly good job. and the history lesson in the beggining was good for my brother (who read LotR but not silm)
