Here is my take on the movie that I have already posted on another forum:<BR> keep hearing people say something like,"Well, you can't compare the movie to the books because,<BR> etc., etc., etc." So fine, let's just talk about the movie.<BR> I would rate it about a 1.5 out of 10! I thought the acting was sub-par, their was no character<BR> development, the Elves were basically a group of mean-spirited jerks (Legolas was alright), Frodo was<BR> weak, and Aragorn was an unconvincing gimp. Frankly, I wonder what many of you consider to be a<BR> good movie??? Remember, we're just talking movie; I haven't even begun to rip it to shreds in respect<BR> to the gross inadequacies, embellishments, and false depictions it suffered in relation to the REAL story.<BR> Of course I cannot think it possible to critique the movie in an unbias form. However, I tried hard, and I<BR> believe that if I had not read the book I would not rate it well (though I may have enjoyed it more). It<BR> lacked in full the element of great story that any great movie has. I walked out of the theater feeling<BR> like I could really care less about any of the characters, save Boromir (who I thought did the best<BR> acting job of the nine).<P> So, no folks, it can't be like the book; but for goodness sake, it could have been something interesting!
