I personally feel the Peter Jackson movies would not have been as good as they were, if it wasn't for the animated versions treading that difficult ground first. It does have its moments of brilliance, particularly being one of the first translations from book to screen, and LOTR is a particularly difficult book to translate. However, as a trained animator there is a lot of godawful animation in it (the poor horrific rotoscoping). I have mixed emotions about this movie I fondly recall it from my childhood so am happily nostalgic about it. Kinslayer, you can view the entire movie over on youtube in around 10 parts if you have the patience (hint: you may have to view the video titled: intro, before part one, its broken up strangely just look under the other videos that the same guy has) view it here: Thanks Joe, this is the first time that one of my off-the-wall requests has been filled on here and I appreciate it! ![]() Okay lets try this again I had this wonderful little letter all typed and bingo of course the internet crashed.
