In your opinion, which one of the movies followed the book the closet - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Of course scenes were deleted from all movies, so I'm judging it more on what was there. I think the biggest change in King was Frodo sending Sam away. <P>In Fellowship, the departure from Bag End was very much accelerated, Merry's and Pippin's joining is completely different, Arwen instead of Glorfindel and a major increase in the involvement of the Cave Troll in Moria.<P>Of course in Towers we have Osgiliath, Elves at Helm's Deep and the Warg attack, all pretty major events.<P>So my vote goes to King being the closest to the books.<P>H.C.
