Negative Positive
Title: Outstanding
Review: I've long been a fan of Tolkien's Middle Earth and an avid reader (scholar?) of his works, including those published in memorium by his son, Christopher. Let me say the following about this latest celluloid incarnation:This is, by far, a masterpiece. Other die-hards will no doubt lament the omission of tom Bombadil and select other minute details, but the seamless integration of computer animation, stellar acting, breath-taking scenery and pure genius of directing breathes life into Tolkien's world and doees justice to his long-standing classic. While best viewed on larger television/movie screens (the bigger the better, I assure you!) this movie will not fail to disappoint you.Case in point: my wife never enjoyed the book, finding it boring and disagreeable with her tastes in literature. After seeing this film in the theatres she is now hooked and reading my prized hard-cover edition voraciously.This movie gets two thumbs up. WAY up!
