Sting

I´ve seen the movie two times now, so i can finally make an objective critic, the movie was good, in fact really good (at least for me), the problem is that it is being compared to a masterpiece, i believe that no director could have made a good movie out of the FOTR without chopping pieces and adding a new life to the book, because it is a book translated to a movie you can´t expect it to be a replica of the book,<BR>it would be a weird piece of work, writing isn´t acting and visuals aren´t poetry, at least not at an equal level.<BR> For me it is a must see movie even if you´re an "anal-retentive" Tolkien fan, or if you just love him, or even if you don´t even know who he was, it´s way better than many others and it´s probably the best that could have been done, we have to be thankfull because someone finnally made us see the greatness of JRR Tolkien´s work with our own eyes, in a tangible way, not the ephimeral matter that has tormented humanity for centuries but the kindness of heart that has made us go further and further.
