good movie

As someone who hasn't read the book, it was an excellent movie from both the action and storytelling point of view. Obviously the action was intense and well worth the price of the ticket alone. The characters were very well developed as well; I guess you can't go wrong with the level of description from a Tolkien book. There were parts that dragged on too long, like the last few scenes at the end of the movie, but this was easily the best movie of the year for me. (Even better than Nemo ...)
