I think SOMEONE is just trying to get "Tolkienites" all riled up.

As for me, of course, of course the book is better than the movie. Can anyone think of an instance when this wasn't true? I think that the movie was very accurate in capturing the spirit of the book.

Visually stunning, elegant and powerful- good times! The only real issue I took with the movie was the beefing up of Arwen's part. But then, every Hollywood movie needs a little romance, and if LOTR lacks in any area, it would be there.
