We thank and praise Peter Jackson for bringing Tolkien's epic stories to the screen. He may be excused for the lengthy scenes of violence and CGI gratuitous to Hollywood since he picked up the project from another team in the middle of producing the three films. Wonder that any good comes through while everyone worries about recouping the cost of making the film at the box office. My hope would be that the film would encourage more people to read the books instead of leave the theatre shaking the heads and saying 'weird show' as we heard from fellow viewers. Thanks for the encouraging review.
