I guess I better post in here. . .simply out of fear of which movie STW will chose as an example next time if we do not reply.
Anyways I doubt many people would disagree with you when you say that it is possible to make a good movie that is based on, but not faithfull to a book.
I like LotR movies as they are great intertainment and at times it does take me to that magical universe that Tolkien created, but as a LotR fan I am not pleased with all the changes.
Lets say for an example that I thought that Troy was a fab movie that I absolutely loved and at the same time I was a fan of the Iliad, then I would not put Troy on to watch the Iliad as it is simply not faithfull enough.
What I am trying to say is that there is two sides too this. . .a movie can be a good movie without being a good adaption of the books and as Tolkien fans what most of us wanted when we went to see LotR was a good adaption. I
