I would not even change the casting.<P>I've promised myself to enjoy the film for what it is, and it is great!<P>Departures from the text were expected, and it is incredible to me that anyone at this point would even try to hold the movie up to the standard of Tolkien's masterwork.<P>As we are discussing on the Chat, as I write, Red has given the movie a 7 (out of 10). Compared to the books, I would agree.<P>But compared to everything else that is out there, I'd have to give it a 10!
