That homage definitely got a chuckle out of me.

I was the opposite with old Frodo and thought him and this remake would crash and burn but I ended up eating my words. One of the year's best for me. If they'd bothered to change a few elements of the storyline and not made it a remake I'd be calling it a modern classic. As it stands it's not as good as the original for me but still an excellent remake.

I dug the POV approach a lot. Weirdly enough that's the aspect of the film that managed to get it banned over here (aside from a brief film festival screening).
