I rarely go to movies these days. I NEVER see a movie at the theater more than once.

I will definitely see this movie again, maybe several times, while it is in the theaters.

I just read The Fellowship of the Ring again, and I then read it to my 9 year old son. We were both really looking forward to this film.

The evil things, as I said above, are quite frightening (PG-13 rating). This is not a film for children under ten (my mistake, Mikey is nine and it was just too violent.)

That said, I'm awestruck at how faithful to Tolkien's book this film was.

Go see it. It is a treat, especially if you are a Tolkien fan. Don't take young kids though.

And Tolkien was a deeply Christian man...the literati criticize the book and the film because it stands strongly behind the idea that right and wrong can be clearly defined...

And thus clearly fought for.

LOTR, the soon-to-be biggest film of all time!
