I see as LOTR with a typical hollywood movie interpretation, that has rewritten a story. For once I think hollywood has done better than usual in the retelling. I am currently rereading the series - about the 10th time in my life. I had forgotten alot of little things, such as the worgs attacking the fellowship just before arriving at moria, and when the party first arrives in the forests of lorien, gollum tries to sneak up on the hobbits in the tree during the night time battle between the elves and the orcs from moria... its been a trip down memory lane..

Although now that I am reading it again , I can see why Peter Jackson changed some of the story. To help keep the general audience who have no familarity with the story from passing out from boredom in the more mundane scenes, and to put tension into to the story where there was none in the book- such as the council of Elrond.

Although there are some differences, the theme holds true and I think its well done. I cant wait for the expanded Version of the 1st movie to come out this november...
