평가 및 리뷰

Rubbish. Liberty taking Hollywood-ised nonsense. Make the main characters young, to get the date audiences in (Frodo was 50 when he left the Shire, not 20-ish), and turn 2 of the most important characters (Merry and Pippin) into naughty, giggling schoolgirls, who I'm sure Aragorn from the books would happily have beaten to death. Tolkien must be spinning in his grave, and no he wouldn't "have loved it". There are good reasons why these appalling films weren't made until long after his death.

This is the theatrical edition. I'll wait probably until Google Play adds the extended edition to buy it, which last around 208 minutes. For thia reason I'm rating this movie with one star. The movie itself is great in many ways. It's a landmark in the genere and for the industry. They made a great job adapting the books considering the many limitations they had. it's not a perfect adaptation, but good enough considering the production context. I loved the drama, the action, the characters.

Characters and action is good enough, dialogue was overly dramatic, story is just some dudes walking from a to b to c to defeat the evil badguy. Too much babble about this and that guy being a hobbit without any explanation of what separate them from the look-alike humans.
