★★☆☆☆
There was a man named J.R.R.Tolkien (dot dot dot)
Having read a few of biographies on Tolkien I went into the movie wondering how much would be abridged and/or compressed to give a sense of the man. Three important aspects of his life that were pretty much ignored to tell a 'Hollywood' story: His relationship with C.S.Lewis, his faith, his fascination with languages.
This movie still gets two stars because it wasn't a bad movie, just hardly accurate from the source material I've read and there wasn't much glaring that was loathsome.
