MIX UP REVIEWS:
Euan (Age 13): ★★★
"This film... What! Okay, it's too long, it's boring and it misses out so much! Where is half of the adventure of the first book. No Tom Bombadil (yes I know) or Fatty Bolger (again I know) but it is still vital for the story. It's ok but the others are so much better."
