I am big fan of Tolkien's The Lord of The Rings. So, watching this prequel I felt was my duty. I haven't read the book but I was bit reluctant and unhappy that the prequel came later. I thought since I already know what happens to the Precious, this one may be disappointing. It wasn't to be. It felt nice to Gandalf again and, of course Frodo, though briefly. Didn't realize Gollum is so popular!
I must also admit that Peter Jackson's fair is best watched in large screen. Also, with the HFR effect. Thankfully, Sathyam had the option. The 3D effect comes out beautifully.
Just like with Lord of the Rings, I am now keen to read the book.
