- Well, I read the book, and saw the 'animated feature' of Lord of the Rings..
- I was not very impressed by the movie, probably because of the fact that
- they attempted to fit WAY too much material into the two hour time span
- of the movie. If you've never read the book, then you'd have no clue
- as to what the movie was about.. The Hobbit, on the other hand,
- IMHO, was much better, in that it went into great detail, about the
- past of the characters. LotR was kinda boring, to tell you the truth.
- Again, this is all my opinion... So flames accepted! (just dont post 'em)
