As has been said countless times in many different ways PJ is trying to make it appealing to people who havn't read the books.<BR>But he was trying to have enough Tolkienistic qualities to try and please the book lovers, I love both the books and the movies, although there are a few things i think he could have had or could have left out, but you cannot please everybody that's highly impossible, because one person will really like one part (in book or movie) but another person will utterly loath it or at least not like that much. It goes for all things in life movies, books, clothes, music, etc. And I would never try to change another persons view of the movie as long as they don't try and change mine, because I understand that their thoughts are as deeply sown onto the earth as mine. oh one more thing even Tolkien himself knew he could not please everyone with his book. look back at my later post on page 1 i have a huge quote from his letter in the beginning of LOR: Fellowship.
