This is to fans of "D&D" and other tales of myth & magic like "Star Wars" is to fans of sci-fi and outer space adventures.
I was never really into this kind of thing as a youngster but I thought it was quite good. I might watch the other ones one day!
Am I the only person in the world who doesn't like LOTR?? could be. This first film was ok, the look is good but just not dark or scary enough. The cast is good, especially he Hobbits, and they work very well with their characters. The effects for me are just too cgi and plastic ...( read more)

the actors/actresses did a pretty awesome work!
whenever i watch, i feel like i'm part of it..wow!
certainly my favourite movies, i dont know how many times i have watched,very intoxicating
Amazing! Peter Jackson did a tremendous job at adapting the greatest book series of all time into the greatest film series of all time. Blows Harry Potter out of the water in so many ways. I hope he will direct the Hobbit, couldn't imagine anyone else.
