I'm not angry, I'm frustrated. <BR>They got so much right in the films - and the bits they got right were the hard bits. With just a little bit of courage in the face of accepted commercial movie wisdom, and a little more faith in Tolkien's writing, those films would have been superlative. TTT is particularly frustrating. Like the little girl with the curl, when it was good, it was very, very, good, but when it was bad, it was horrid.
