I don’t believe it, These films are the best thing that I have seen in along time. The pure quality in the performances by Elijah Wood, Christopher Lee, Sean Astin. Effects are kept to a minimum and not in your face like most films these days. I strongly disagree that the film is 90% special effects, come on, Smeagle has a real person under the graphics, what would you have them do, put him in a suit like something from Dr Who. The whole film reeks of quality, unlike the rubbish that has come from Hollywood lately. And yes indeed there is a story, something missing from many films these days that now just rely on special effects. Peter Jackson hasn’t gone for special effects he wanted people to leave the cinema talking about the film as a whole, not just caw about the great special effects. Peter Jackson in my opinion has done the books real credit. Not many directors would have taken up the challenge to put this story on the big screen. I have read the book several time since my childhood days and I am one of the few people to have read the Sillmarillion. How any one can cuss these films is beyond belief, you should all be ashamed of yourselves and have your projectors confiscated for a week. Shame on you all.
