Worse. PJ really screwed up. He went around the plot too much and things were changed too much. This movie was lacking something. It wasn't up to the standards of FotR and that made it dissapointing. PJ said that he would make each movie better than the next. If that was his goal, then he failed. And what about his other goal? To bring the book to life. He said 'book', not his vision of the book. Anyways, he still has another chance. Its all down to RotK. And even then, he has the extended TTT, yet to come out and probably in ten months or something. But the thing that really scares me is that PJ said he wanted to make each better than the next, right? Well if this was his view of 'better', then I'm really scared on how RotK will turn out.<P>Despite all of the downfalls and the fact that this was worse that the fellowship, this was a good movie. I just think that this is so disgraceful to the books, and after seeing TTT, I wish he didn't say he was basing on the books, he should say about the books. Yes this was the movie and not the books but its based on the books. If this wasn't such a serious movie series, then we wouldn't get so worked up on it and we wouldn't criticize it that much. But when you say that you're bringing the book to the screen, you can't expect us to take PJ's screw up lightly. He said it would be better. Well he didn't deliver.<p>[ December 19, 2002: Message edited by: MLD-Grounds-Keeper-Willie ]
