The Good and The Bad - a Quick Look at the Movies

[Lalaith]

The Good: The lovely music. The splendid scenery, both real and CGI. The battles.


The Bad:
Mainly this.
Tolkien: "Theoden is a kindly old man. Denethor is of another sort, proud and subtle, a man of far greater lineage and power."

Jackson: "Theoden is a bitter old man with a massive chip on his shoulder. Denethor is of another sort, drunk and deranged, a man of far greater propensity to poor table manners and pyromania."
