Its where he has changed the story I think he fails - and on the points where he do not understand the caracters - his interpretation of especially Elrond, Galadriel and the two younger hobbits are downright awful! Pippin for instance is represented as courageous but as a teenager with an IQ of 65 - I mean if he wants to make a Forrest Gump movie let him - but keep ME out of it.On the other hand I must also say that Gandalf, Strider/Aragorn, Frodo and Sam - and to some degree Gimli, Legolas and Boromir is outstanding in their interpretation and preformance. The latter 3 are however very cartoonlike - I mean do you have to spell everything out in 5 foot neon??? Have some faith in the audience, please...Cheers TPS Do you really need to put new scenes into the movie - just to get some action??? Gandalf and Saruman in 2 minutes staffcombat??? New scenes of Saruman breeding fullgrown orcs out of mudd???
