<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>...things that PJ changed (like Faramir in this instance), could've been left alone & PJ could've created the same tension (that wouldn't drag) with Shelob.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Of course. There are many changes in the movies that I don't quite understand, like why he had to change Faramir, and don't know what point there was in changing them. As far as I saw, he could have left Faramir alone and the movie would be no less effective. But perhaps he needed a way to take the hobbits to Osgilith, which I also don't understand yet.However, there still is a third movie to look forward to. We can't call all of Peter's plot tweaking completely unneccessary yet as we don't know where he's taking them. Come RotK, we may actually understand what it was that went through that little director mind of his and why he did what he's done. Give him the benefit of the doubt, at least until after this December.And if he doesn't redeem himself in RotK, then we can start the Peter-bashing. [ August 23, 2003: Message edited by: arianrod ]
