Does this include character changes? Because I would have liked to change Legolas's role a bit. Just in the sense that he was too much of an action hero. I would have preferred to see more of him as a general elf, in his natural environment and culture, with more interaction with his fellow elves. Particularly in Lorien, where he spent more time with the other elves in the book.<P>I can't stand that shot of Gandalf yelling as he rides down the slope at Helm's Deep. It rather ruins the whole effect of the scene. I'm not sure how to change it, but I would definitely alter it slightly.<P>I would make Lorien less blue. It may create the right atmosphere, but it is way too much like a studio.
