This seems to echo very familiar refrain on this site.
"If the movie scene did not work its Jacksons fault for not being more faithful to the book.
What? You mean he filmed it the exact way it was written by JRRT himself?
Okay then... its the actors ... yes thats it ... is gotta be the actors ... thats it ... it was poorly acted."
Bottom line: it is never, ever, ever the fault of the book, anything in the book, the author of the book, or even anything suggested at in the book. Remember Rule #1. Its Jacksons fault. Rule #2 - its the fault of somebody else in Jacksons movies.
