*TTT - Overall Impressions

[Schmendrick]

I agree with Túroch on almost everything. I was very disappointed with the film. I've writtten my thoughts about it on many threads already and can't bother to write them all over again, but the things that irritated me the most were:<BR>- The film was too concentrated on the men. Where were the hobbits? I know that TTT is a lot about men, but this was exaggeration.And yes- the Riders of Rohan? Agree with you Túroch, again! They didn't convince me at all and Theoden was behaving like an old fool!<BR>- Faramir (Do I need to say more? )<BR>- Frodo Why change him so much? He is a completely different person in the film!He shouldn't be this possessed!He's wise and noble and fighting a terrible fight.My heart aches when I see how they have silmplified his character.<BR>- Aragorn Wouldn't count my life on his hands. <BR> <BR>And as I've said many times already, I totally understand that there has to be made some changes when turning a book into a film, but many of the changes here made were completely unmotivated and vain.
