WOW! It's NEARLY OUT! Tomorrow/Today for you people in the US, UK and NZ... Boxingday (26th) for us in Australia (I don't know why the fuckers chose the 26th - probably everyone fattened up on turkey and ham and have nothing better to do than go to the movies).

I'm going to move this to General Sci-Fi, as that's where previous discussions of the movie have been found, and the board can use the traffic.

Saw it tonight. Liked it. Would read the books if I had the time.

Ooops, that Mispelling of Tolkien was an accident. I tend to put some letters before others when I type, and spaces too soon or too late between my words.
Anyhow. I just saw "Fellowship" tonight. All I have to say is "holy ring-bearing hobbits, batman!" I give this movie a 9.7 on the kick-ass-O-meter. It didn't get that last .3 because I wasn't in it. Yeah, ummm... *leaves*

Holy Crizap that was a good movie. It's been such a long time since a movie that received so much damned hype actually lived up to it. Wow! I need to see it again soon.

A good movie. If you have read the books as many times as I have, you notice an awful lot of things that aren't there, but I think these folks made as good a film as can be made form LOTR.

Saw it last night. An excellent attempt to adapt the book. It was unfortunate that so much had to be left out. At least half the entire first book is missing in certain key areas, which had to be done though for running time reasons. But still, superb in many places.
I'd waited my whole life to see this, the greatest literary work ever, brought to the screen.
