Grumbling in the Fandom - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I would say that overall, <I>most</I> people here love the movies, or at least enjoy them. I am very fond of the movies, yet I have done some grumbling of my own; particularly about the changes to Faramir, which I did not like in the least bit. All in all, the movies are an excellent endeavour, if nothing more than one artist's interpretation of Middle Earth. I see it as no different than any of the drawings put forth by Tolkien artists, or for that matter any artist; you either feel a connection with the art or you don't. If you don't like the movies, at least there's always the books to fall back on. And I should think that most people here are pretty big fans of those.....
