Did you read the book by JRR Tolkien?
The movie was as true as anyone could ask to the book.

Tolkien and CS Lewis were close friends, indeed Tolkien helped convert Lewis to Christianity.

Tolkien's fantasy has several layers of meaning, each of which can be enjoyed by itself, or in harmony with the others.

I love them all.

Here's what Glen Beck has to say about it.

Thanks for the info. Could you imagine the difficulty converting a mind like CS Lewis? I am not a big fantasy movie gal, but I am sure we will buy it when it comes out. It did say rated PG13 for long sequences of fantasy violence... Who takes their young children to a PG13 without checking out the reviews?

Hardly. I could ask for them to leave out that 'Azog the pale orc' nonsense, for example.
