Naturally, there's been some discussion about favorite scenes:<A HREF="http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=001206" TARGET=_blank>check this out</A><P>I agree that there has been a lot of negativity thrown at the filmmakers for their adaptation of the book. My response is this - Yea, there are some things that could have been done differently. Several minute details that even I, a diehard fan, would have like to see differently. HOWEVER, overall, I think the film adaptaion is INCREDIBLE. people need to realize that this is the FIRST TIME a TRUE live-action adaptation has succeeded. I'm sure happy with the result.<P>Even people who didn't like it (and most people who I spoke to who didn't like it blamed it on the ended - that's just ignorance) admitted that the special effects and acting was incredible. People cannot deny the passion that was put into these films and even if they don't like the movies, I'd appreciate it if they just respected that the filmmakers are trying to accomplish. I for one will defend the movies - I love both the films and the books. They're different - but it's GOT to be different. They're both ways of telling a story and natually there have to be variances. These crazies that try to petition the moviemaking process need to get on with it. If they hate the films so much, they need to lock themselves up and sit with the books until they're happy. I can't stand their negativity - because it's based on IGNORANCE.
