I do find it quite interesting that many people on this board seem to hold both of these, seemingly contradictory positions.<P>1. The films should mirror the books as closely as possible. Most if not all changes made harm the films.<P>2. The best of the new scenes in the EE is the one between Faramir, Boromir and Denethor. A scene which, if memory serves, is not present in LOTR at all.<P>Given the money the theatrical editions made it is hard to say that PJ made wrong choices in regards to what he decided to include. And seeing the EE’s of both films so far, I think it superb that fans have the opportunity to receive another version that both builds on and adds to the one we have already seen.
