Jackson's Ring

[Sam Moyer]

The critic makes some good points... but Arwen already gets a bigger
role than she had in the book... Tolkien did not add a lot of female
characters into this story.  I think the reviewer would also have a
problem with Moby Dick.  Not all movies must be about romance so they?

Forgot to mention... Quail said that Ian McKellen deserves best Actor...
I haven't seen many other flicks this year, but hell yeah, why not.  He
is very good as Gandalf.

I haven't seen it yet, but even the New Yorker's film critic gave it a 
begrudging thumbs up:
