Worse. Much worse. I understand that you have to make some changes when you are turning a book ( and especially as complicated and rich book as this one) into a film, but many changes were totally unmotivated in my opinion. I didn't mind too much the Elves coming at the Helm's Deep, but why change Faramir and Frodo so much? Why? <BR>And why show so little of Merri and Pippin? The whole film was all about MEN. The hobbits were as forgotten as they were in the Middle-Earth by other nations!
