You see, though, in movies the "movie people" can only develop a character so much. There has to be constant action, noise, or whatever to keep the majority of the people's attention. Now, I think they should make a FOTR, TTT, and ROTK each like 9 hours long with everything in them just for us Tolkien Fans!
On the other hand, in a book there's that quiet feeling, and the constant noise and action of a movie is not necessary. You get to make up, as said before, your own ideas for the character's voices, looks, and the way they carry themselves. In movies it can be disappointing when the person you imagined the character to be is NOT what they had in mind.
