It's quite possibly the BEST movie I have ever seen. It's about 90% accurate with the book.

They didn't make any serious changes.....they just skipped a lot of stuff (like Tom Bombadil and the hobbits journey to Bag End) out of necessity.

The movie is still 3 hours long after leaving all that out.

But the casting is phenomenal. The only choice I've heard criticized is Hugh Weaving (main agent from Matrix) as Elrond. That kinda bothered me too, but it's easy to get past it.

Other than that.....EVERYBODY looked exactly like they should have.
