My thoughts on the movie are written in detail in the The Imagination of Fantasy group, so please look. P.S. If you like fantasy and like what you see, request membership because I would like to expand the group but do not know who to invite, since fantasy tends to appeal only to some people.
I don't want to spoil the plot. In keeping with my other blogposts, though...
Rating: 7 out of 10 (Good -the overall work of the film is shaky but left me with a feeling of being entertained).
The test-will she be buying it? The answer: I don't know. I may have to watch it again to decide if I like it. Despite being riddled with excitement to see it, I purposely kept my expectations pretty low, just because I know that books turning into movies is a crapshoot, and it's only a rare vehicle like Lord of the Rings that actually does its source material justice. As it is, I own the book and enjoy that lots. So, the jury's out...unless I say that I'm not buying it at least until I rewatch it. Let's call that good.
