I wish they had stayed true to the book and finished the Hobbits homecoming where the fallen wizard sought revenge by trying to destroy their homeland. The movie caused me to read the "Hobbit&quo... t; which I am eternally grateful. I loved the movie, bought it and the books and watch and read it several times as well as the Simirillian which is the beginning of "Middle Earth". I wonder if they could do the Simirillans. Now that would be the the entire Middle Earth saga. Tolkien was/is fantastic. What a creative mind and wonderful imagination. Full Review
One of the best, most amazing movies of all time, rivaled only by the other movies in the trilogy!!! The dialogue is brilliant, the plot awesome (obviously, since it is based on the book), the special... effects breathtaking, and the characters amazing (Aragorn!!) This is a must see for all scifi or fantasy fans or anyone just looking for an awesome movie!!! Full Review
