<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>This is a movie BASED on a book by JRR Tolkien it is not THE book by JRR Tolkien. If you do not like it then read the book. Its a great book but it isn't a movie.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Well met, GreyIstar. I agree completely. I find it sad that people must bash the movie so much. You can't go to any movie based on a book and expect to see the exact same thing you read. They are different mediums and must be handles differently.<BR>I love the books, I love the movies... but each different from one another. I don't really put them into the same category...<BR>When I saw the movie the first time I was a little on end about how I felt about it beacause I had just re-read TTT. But, then I slept on it and realized that they are not the same thing and they never will be... so I went in the theatre the second time last night and the movie was so much better.<BR>Wow, sorry if that sounded confusing.<P>I understand why people have grievences, but hopefully you will see the movies with a new light later on. Love the books, they are great.
