What would you as a director have done better?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I think PJ left that out so he wouldn't risk inflicting further confusion upon the non-book reading movie-goers (lets face it: LOTR has roughly 3 million charcters, plots, & sub-plots as it is! :eek). <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Yeah, understand that one, but the way I see it, if you can't tie all that in at the beginning, just have Gandalf explain it in his conversation with Frodo.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Heh, they were also prohibited from seeking to dominate the entire world...but I'm afraid that didn't stop Saruman much. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>It would have stopped Gandalf.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Although we aren't told much, we are told his name, the fact that his father is quite important in Gondor, & that he obviously has different ideas about the Ring then others. Not much, but a bit more than his name . <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Which is nothing compared to what we are told about him in the book, and it wouldn't take much to tell everything that is told about him in Rivendell. We don't even know WHY he's there, for crying out loud!<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Actually Saruman did breed orcs & goblin men to make his own 'better' army. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>He bred Half-Orcs, but those were very different from the Uruk-Hai.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I'd intially agree, but check out the size of those arrows :eek! They're more like broomsticks. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>So make 'em smaller. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> You do get a short glimpse of him in the Extended Version. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P> Cool!<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> September 20th & you still haven't seen TTT!!?? You've got much more self-control than me, man! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Actually it has more to do with me being 14. My dad, who's read the book many times, would've let me watch the movies a long time ago, but my mom, who's also read the book, didn't want my mental picture of it to be spoiled by watching the movie, or some such mumbo-jumbo. I only saw Fellowship a couple of weeks ago at my cousin's house, and I will be seeing Two Towers soon. Hopefully I'll get a chance to watch Return of the King in theatres!<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I'm not out to get you or pick on you, but I wanted to reply to some of those things you said, Elladan & Elrohir. & I do agree with you on about half of the things you brought up. :cool <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Hey, I understand friendly discussion. I do it all the time. No offense taken; we all have our own opinions.
