I would just like to say that as much as you are outraged by the changes made, it could have been much, much worse. In nearly every illustration I have seen, the Rohirrim have been portrayed as pseudo-Vikings, but not in these movies. I don't know if any of you are familliar with the work of Greg and Tim Hildibrandt (sp?), but they are LotR illustrators. I agree much more with PJ's interpretation of LotR that theirs. But I digress. I only read LotR after seeing FotR in the theater. Before, I didn't like LotR because I hadn't done well with it when I tried to read it when I was 9. So that's my opinion.
