Excellent movie, surprisingly good actors and special FX for the budget. Overall, not a bad way to spend an evening with the kids.
Nice depth to most of the characters. Max Von Sydow in particular is one of my favourite character actors, and in this he shines amongst the younger players.
The plot has quite a few twists but don't expect a fairy tale happy ending.
Oh although the stories have similarities, there is no proved link between the two and Tolkien denied any influence of "Ring of the Nibelungs" with his epic Lord of the Rings. I think this films marketing dept. should get its facts right.
