*ahem* This may not be the best first impression on my part but I have to disagree with most of you. How can you concieve of making a movie following a book to a tee? there simply is no way some of things in the book could have been transfered into script format without losing some of its inital impact. Plus, we all must take into consideration that some people entering the movie theater have NOT read the books and don't have the fullest comprehension on the books. They don't know that Faramir is not supposed to be like that or the battle of Helm's deep isn't being followed exactly like the book. The movie is entertainment and in the entertainment world things need to be changed so the audience will be enraptured by the story. I'm sorry if you can't look over what PJ didn't do and see that he did try his best. Please don't give me crap for speaking my mind, I'm only stating my mind. You all got to and here I am doing it as well. I'd like to say right now that I was pleased with the movie and am looking forwards to seeing it again. There was more room for action and interaction between the characters since character development was basically done with. The shots of New Zeland were breath taking and the overall impact of the story left me in awe. Once again, I'm sorry if the movie didn't live up to your expectations. We all have our own view on things.
