Good Points
True to the book. Great action and special effects.
Bad Points
A bit too gory for a PG.
General Comments
The Lord of the Rings is a great film for older children especially those that have read the book. The shortest 3 hours spent in a cinema. The special effects are fantastic and the acting superb. Simply one of the best films I've ever seen. However, I dont think its suitable for anyone under the age of 10 due to fight scenes similar to those at the beginning of Gladiator.

I think the first movie was not at all gory. However, the second movie was a bit worse. Rather than that I agree with your review. Good Job. I agree that the movie was spectacular, and totally real.
