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 :-DMerry & Pippen: these characters are reduced to nothing more than comic reliefElrond: 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 greatGandalf: He looked TOO old and frail, can you say sean connory? he would of been great.NO TOM enough saidcave troll it looked like a bug eyed rhino.sauron he was alright, but lets face it. they couldnt do him justice.I do however have some positive things to say...balrog it was awesome, unbelieveable. (and winged)actors good casting for the most part i thoughtparallel to book 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)
