this movie is amazing!! i could not find anything that i didn't like about this movie, the scenery was great, the acting was completely solid, the battles astually seemed realistic!!

*takes a breath*

the computer effects looked so real that... i donno, they just looks seamless and great.

Perfection to the last minute of the film, and they end the movie with you wanting more!!

excellent watch, and go to the theatre instead of downloading the movie, isn't it worth it to support such a great movie?

lastly: imagine 2 years (or less) from now, being able to sit down with the full 9 hours of Lord Of The Rings, what an excellent way to kill off a day!

it doesn't matter which way really, but you have to do both to do it justice since the books contain so many appendices detailing family trees etc...

Book for, deff book first.

Both are good but the book is what made the movie, best to read it first.

yes, reading the books fills in some gaps, but if you have read the hobbit you should have enough information to almost completely understand the moive

Read the books slougi? All the books? 20 times each?

Anyway, you can only expect so much out of a simple movie. Can't complain to much.

Heh, I tried to read this book once... It got me bored as hell, donno why, people told me that it gets better later on, but I just couldn`t continue reading... I prefer the "Dragon lance chronicles" seriees, donno if you heard about it.

Actually, I'm geekier than that

I have:
The Hobbit
The Fellowship of the Ring
The Two Towers
The Return of the King
The Silmarillion

In txt files, as well as hardcover for looks, and paperback for reading (I hate trying to read HB books!!)

I have the book which was pieced together from his works, as well as serveral on him also, wish Tolkien would have written more.

On a diff note (which Telsa-cridic will prolly spam about it not having anything to do with this thread heh) what other "classic" fantasys do you think are good? What ones rate up with Tolkien's?
