No. I'm with nenohantar. No matter how good I don't think movies can ever compare to the books they're based on. Especially not LotR. There's simply too much in the books. The movie loses too much in translation. Tho they did an incredible job wi it. The only things that the movie did have that could've used some improvement was the casting of Elrond (sorry, good actor, but he doesn't look like an elf!) and Galadriel. But that's just a personnal opinion anyhow. Fortunately we now have both! Now they just need to come out wi the next 2 movies...
