Tolkien

In response to how Peter Jackson failed to produce such subtlty as Tolkien did-<BR>1. The struggle between Saruman and Gandalf had way to much of Star Wars feel to it. Neither Gandalf nor Saruman were as subtle as they should have been, as Tolkien wrote.(see quote below)<BR>2. The power of the elves was also much to apparent. They were not at all merry as Tolkien describes them. He gives us glimpses of their power and awe, but it was too much in the movie.
