A faithful, if incomplete, adaptation for those too young for Peter Jackson. The orcs and Wraiths are pure nightmare fuel

Good if you’re too young for the trilogy or would rather see it all in one film.

First introduction to this realm. My Grandmother took me thinking it was a cartoon but it was a lot more than that & I was hooked after that

Worth it as a lord of the rings fan, but it doesn’t go as in depth as any of the other movies, it’s also incomplete since it’s the first two

Rotoscoping is wonky at times and it felt anti-climatic. Honestly, watch the Peter Jackson films.

Not as bad as the hobbit the dialogue is bland/boring. More accurate to the book but I’ll watch P.J s version when I want to watch trilogy

Had potential to be something visually interesting if given more time
