![]() 7/10 Bethany Cox.RELATED: Lord of the Rings: Aragorn & Arwen's Romance Is Inspired by a Tragic Story My dad and my brother are both die-hard LOTR fans, and they say that this film was very well done. ![]() In conclusion, despite the flaws, this film is nowhere near as bad as people say it is. Some of the scenes in this film are very hard to depict, like the scenes with the Black Riders(the scene in the inn was genuinely creepy), and I must say, that in general, the execution of those scenes were well-above average. The voice talents are exceptional, standouts being Christopher Guard as the idealistic Frodo, William Squire as the wise Gandalf(very good but Ian McKellan was better but only marginally) and John Hurt's brave Strider/Aragorn. The film is also overlong and a bit slow, but anyone who's seen the Peter Jackson films will argue that they have the same problem. Though speaking of the orks, a very young audience will find them very frightening, and will be deterred by the sight of blood. The music was very well done especially the orks' march to Isanguaard, very haunting indeed. The animation was very impressive, a little dated by our standards, but bear in mind people it was made in the 70s and that it is lower budget than that of Disney or Pixar. Even more impressive was that they fitted two books into one film, many people consider that a mistake and that things were missed out, when actually considering the books aren't very easy to adapt, I thought this film wasn't too bad an attempt. I really liked this movie, and it is true, too many people compare it to the Peter Jackson films.
