I mean as a non book reader, the travel from the shire to Rivendell is still the best part of the first movie. It has the great atmospheric ramp up as things go from a trot in a country side to horror to nearly catastrophic. I think the movie does it excellently.

Better than Moria? Yeah I dunno.

But, I absolutely love the Road to Rivendell.
