Lord of the ring- The Movie vs The book

nautilus33 @nautilus33 (1827) 30 Oct 09

Hi, MyLoters! Well, what do you think- is the book more captivating then the film or isn't it? In the movie you can see the effects, the people, the action, but the book is tenser. I want you to share your opinion.

movie
