Peter Jackson’s cinematic recreation of Tolkien’s Ride of the Rohirrim doesn’t capture every detail of Tolkien’s text accurately. But it’s damn close. And it is a stirring visual spectacle that may be the highlight of the whole movie trilogy. Kudos to Jackson.
Impressive, to be sure.
I’ve got to give credit to Peter Jackson for not only getting the technical side right but for mostly getting the story side right. For a fan of the book that is even more important than the dazzling special effects.
