Sauron the White,

I did view the extra commentaries from the DVDs, and as I have said, I do like the movies. I just do not agree with the writers' and director's stated reasons for changing the characters. It is my opinion that the movie COULD be made that still had all the visual beauty and still be true to the characters, or at the very least, to the main characters, as originally developed by Tolkien.

I do not believe anyone could have improved upon what Jackson did to create the Shire, and particularly Bag End in Hobbiton.
