No need to scold, Rhud.. notice my smilies at the end too..<P>But.. I've read some more controversial threads because I thought there would be a dicussion and all I found was flaming galore and some not so veiled mean hearted things about newbies who came from the movie. If I seem a bit rough bout the edges.. that's why.<P>But.. the point to movies is not to simply entertain. It is a business and PJ did have to make it a marketable movie. That is a fact that you cannot just toss away. For the movies sake, it is a good movie. I never once noticed that I was sitting in a theatre for three hours, I was entertained, scared, and hooked.<BR>Movie to book, book to movie, even I say it could be waaaaay better, and only after one read of FotR.<P>... the blonde babbles once again :P
