I don't loathe the movie. On the contrary I appreciate it much. But the books are on one side and the movie on the other. They are completely different worlds. The movie was Hollywood, the books were subtle nobility. Oe can appreciate the movie and the book in 2 completely different manners (like me). Nobody could ever make a perfect adaptation of LotR into film, not because there are too many fans with too many different opinions out there, but because it's plainly impossible. There have been some 20 Odysseys & Iliads in film out there, but seeing them can't be close as to reading the book itself.<P>Peace, movie-goers & book-readers!
