I went to see Lord of the Rings last night with AHN, a fellow AOer.
For all you Tolkien freaks, the movie kicks ***. :) The elven cities and the Mines of Moira were spectacluar. The only think I didn't care for was the costume design for 'the Dark Lord' Sauron. Don't get me wrong, he looked cool, I just thought the design of his armor left much to be desired. Just not to my tastes at least.
The Dark Riders (aka Nazgul) were much more cool lookin. :) As to the overall accuracy of the movie in following the book, I really couldn't say in an 'informed' way, as it's been several years since I read the various Tolkien books.
Well, I'll end my ramble...but as a final word, I'll say 'GO SEE IT!!'. Well...I guess that was a sentence and not just a word.
