<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I like how PJ has gone in depth into the battles of LOTR. I felt like JRR wasn't detailed enough when it came to the action but PJ makes it completly epic.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Keep in mind that if you try to go into much detail about 'action scenes' in books, it gets boring or sounds stupid. Obviously in movies you can have Aragorn yell, than an Orc yell, then have Aragorn cut the Orc's head off, but it a book you can't really say: Aragorn yelled, then an Orc yelled, Aragorn chopped his head off. Obvioulsy that's not how it'd be put, but it just doesn't work to try to go into much detail. I was happy with the detail that J.R.R. went into, although of course I expected more from PJ in a film, of course. & keep in mind, what seems great to you (Ents), has also been remarked by others to be the Jar-Jar-Binks of LOTR. That's not my opinion, but you can't really pick out some things that you think PJ did great on & expect to convert people to movie-lovers, because any movie-hater or movie-disliker could just pick out things that PJ did <I>wrong</I>, or un-booktual (They're certainly not hard to find :rolleyes & have a pretty good case<BR><I>against</I> the movies. <p>[ August 16, 2003: Message edited by: The Only Real Estel ]
