New Line Cinema took a risk by pumping lots of money into a film, that would be directed by a fairly unknown director who had not proved beforehand he could produce a great epic fantasy film. The risk paid off.
The film is full of amazing set's, heart stopping special effects thanks to Peter Jackson's WETA workshop, and a great script with all of the best bits from the book. This film gave Orlando Bloom his big break as Legolas. Liv Tyler plays beautiful elf Arwen and Ian McKellen plays the grey wizard Gandalf. |
