As many people may know, my undying love for these movies borders on the obsessive, and I apologise for saying what wasn't right in a 'how good is the movie' sort of thread, but my main misgivings of the film hang around Plot Changes.
Some are needed to translate book to film, and Jackson gets many of these right, but when they change, needlesly shall we say, then the cracks begin to appear.
I've mentioned many times that the plot of lotr is so well conceived and though out, that you can change one part of it and the dominoes fall throughout the book leaving nothing at their mercy........this is where sometimes Jackson fails.
On the scene by scene thread we're a few weeks away from the Mother of all Plot Changes aren't we? Bring on Faramir! I'll "light touch paper and retire" methinks...!
