Rent the movie.

Watch it. Or not. Either you have 3 hours to watch a good fantasy film, or you do not have 3 hours. The story-line shouldn't matter in that decision.

By the way, rent the extended version if you can. It has an extra 30 minutes of material that would make the film easier to follow if you haven't read the books.

Incidentally, both films won Oscars, FWIW.
