The Examples of Dumbing - Down

[Failivrin]

this board so needs a smiley of someone rolling on the floor laughing. i totally agree about the the dumbing down and i got the faramir one. it really annoyed me because it totally interrupted the flow of the film as a whole. i think it would have been best to have a short commentary at the beginning to explain what happened last etc. like there is at the beginning of the book.<BR> and it annoyed me that they dumbed down the two towers themselves to them being orthanc and barad- dur, as if the audience couldn't cope with minas morgul AS WELL! i mean; three towers? thats just confusing!
