Left Behind II: Tribulation Force (2002)
Fairly based on Books 1 and 2
Given the fact that in Left Behind II the book Ray and Amanda get married, and so do Buck and Chloe the movie was alright. They forgot to include the weddings, and Ivy had no place in the books. Book 2 in the series also did not include Nicolae being asked to lead the UN/the world, that had already happened. This movie also depicted the two witnesses pretty well, and for that I give them a reasonable rating. Left Behind II also included Ray asking Hattie for the job of flying Nicolae's plane, which was not in the book. Tsion Ben Judah had to flee after his announcement Jesus was the Messiah with Buck in book 2, we do not see this in the movie. Lackluster, but OK. 6.0 out of 10 stars max
Left Behind (2000)
A Fairly Decent Film
I have seen this movie 5 times and get more out of it each time. I am addicted to the Left Behind series-I'll be honest. This film was generally based on Book 1 pretty well, unlike the 2014 reboot which only covered one section of the book to start the new franchise. This movie features a strong willed independent atheistic Chloe Steele, and that is how the book depicts her. However, the book says she is blonde haired, here the movie goofed up. Ray Steele is well played, and the Antichrist role was spot on from the books. The attack on Israel by Russia and her allies is pretty well depicted. However, some things are narrowed down to quicker lengths, and Buck did not know the charter pilot until later in the book. 6 out of 10 stars
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Thrilling movie for a rainy day
This movie is full of action and mayhem at its finest. Tolkien's novel is vividly unfolded in this adaption of the famous book. The Nazgul are well done, as are the landscapes. However, the scene with the Balrog vs Gandalf and the mordor landscape, plus the eye of sauron can be very terrifying for children, even me an 18 year old. The way they depict Moria is outstanding, and it is generally a good film. Keep in mind that the balrog, Moria and the dead dwarfs, the eye of sauron and the orcs will scare little children. And Saruman might frighten children as well. Orlando Bloom as Legolas was a great choice and yes the scenes are intense. Otherwise it is a great film.
