Just saw the movie, is it as good as the book, no of course not, but 
it's a wonderful movie nevertheless. I think only a professional 
sourpuss would fail to find magic in this film, however I'm willing 
to forgive professional movie critics for panning it, they're more or 
less obligated to give a negative review to anything that universally 
popular.
As I said a movie can never be as good as a great book but a great 
movie can be made from a mediocre book, just look at "The Godfather" 
or "Gone With The Wind", that gives me hope that it might just be 
possible that "Lord Of The Rings" will turn out to be a great film.
