Eurytus,I think I'll start a new thread in the books section to reply to you.But when did I say that Jackson's was a bad film?We seem to get two extremes of people in these forums. one lot loves the books and defend them, another lot love the films and defend them. It is hard to find the middle ground.but to me, the films ARE dumbed down, and have to be. But what I will never agree on is adding in extra scenes just for "action's" sake, as Jackson does. This leads to more 'dumbing down'.Anyway, see you in the book section......
