The Fellowship of the Ring was definitely the best fantasy or science fiction movie ever made. Never have I thought to myself 'wow, that was....incredible' for weeks after seeing such a perfect assemblage of craftsmanship. It may be the best movie I've ever seen, the best collection of images to grace thine eyes.

I'm curious as to whether you had read the book before seeing the movie.

If you haven't, is there anyone who has who can tell me whether it lives up to the book?

I'm dying to see it but whenever something gets so my hype you inevitably get disappointed.

It does leave out some parts but the story does come together the way Tolkien intended it. For instance when Frodo n friends leave the Shire they head straight for Bree in the movie and run into Pippin and Merry while they're being chased by farmer Maggot, then get chased by the Nazgul. They completely leave Tom Bombadil out (which really disapoints me because that guy is so awsome!) but the movie really is just amazing, Tolkien would be proud of it but he wouldn't be satisfied. You will leave the movie theatre thinking to yourself: "that was...just...amazing." After this your standards for good movies'll probably be raised, too. Anyway they leave out some parts and change others, however you can see that sometimes exactly what Tolkien described occurs, when Arwen takes Frodo to Rivendell (not that elf) the river raises through these rocks, and its just perfect, you can see that exactly, exactly what you pictured has happened. You're really missing out if you don't see it, Teri 2.
 
Thanks Pollux V

It's been such a long time since I read the book that I don't think I'll remember the things that are missing anyway. So I'll pop down to see it as soon as I can. Thanks for the reply.

I was going to thank you with the link to 'the hobbit name generator' but it seems to be down at the moment. You put your name in and it gives you a hobbit name. I can't remember mine exactly but it was something like 'Dolly Millstone of the Bree Milstones.'

It's a cute little web site. You'll probably find it if you do a search using 'the hobbit name generator'. I did that and found one called that, but it must be down, as I said, because my PC just wouldn't connect.

I hope you have better luck.
Thanks again,
Teri

lol thanks, I found the website on a google search with quotation marks (a web surfers best friend!). My name is "Isengrim Gold from Oatbarton." I think it fits me pretty well.

Glad you liked it. I was just thinking -why don't you start a thread giving the web address and all the hobbit lovers can tell us their hobbit names?

What do you think?
