What would you as a director have done better?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Yes! If he wasn't such an action hero, I bet we'd have about 1.8786 percent less rabid Orli fans.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Er right...I just want to point out that (ok firstly, I'm not <I>rabid</I>, ok, I'm quite safe) I didn't like Leggy because he was an action hero, quite frankly (I know this is going to sound really shallow, but I'm afraid it's the simple truth) I like him because he's so fit!!! And then finding that Orli wasn't a big-headed...um...ahem....anyway...unlike Ashton Kutcher just kind of reinforced it a bit.... <P>I don't think I'd include Tom Bombadil because in my opinion he was too out of this world to be mutilated by cinena- even if I was the director. But I'd put in David Attenborough (who is Richard?), he knows so much about animals and stuff...hehehe<P>I also disagree with having 36 hours of film or whatever it was...I tried watching the animated version which was a bit closer to the books, and I couldn't bear it. Sam was just annoying...and Frodo was taller than the others! Books are books, and films are films. You have to keep films watchable, or there's no point to them.<P>I'd do all those regular changes- not have Pippin and Merry be such fools, so that Pippin wouldn't have to trick Treebeard to show he's grown up a bit...have the Éomer story as it was...etc etc, you guys have said it all already.<P>And if it is true that the Dúnedain are to be missed out in RotK, then I'd include them.<p>[ September 21, 2003: Message edited by: Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1 ]
