Title: Great film, holding close to the original storyline
Review: A gem for the millions of Tolkien fans world-wide, I highly doubt that any fan of Middle Earth could be disappointed with this film.I thought this movie was fantastic. The visual and audio effects were terrific, and I have to say that the casting was extraordinary. I thought they found the exact people to fit every role, from Gandalf the Grey to an elf extra, they all fit the book's description perfectly, giving you the appearance that you imagined when you first read the book.I also must say it is commendable that the movie held so true to the original storyline, with only minor changes mainly because of time restraints (although the entire film does end up being very close to the 3-hour mark) and to add some of the usual Hollywood-style action and suspense for the audience.Overall, this is the best movie I have seen at the theatre in a long time, and I can't wait for the home video release. I would definitely recommend it to any Tolkien fan.
