<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> - It seems that Boyens and Fran were the main force behind the script itself. All the time I’ve been dissing Jackson for the changes, and it’s probably not his fault! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P><BR>Well, he still ok'd the nonsense.<P>Why is she looking smug? Maybe it has something to do with making many millions despite fans of JRRT's writings thinking you hacked one of the coolest characters?<P>And the whole thing of' we had to come up with something new once we left Cirith Ungol out...<P>hmm how about the legitamate Faramir scenes and speeches in Ithilien? How about a muster or at least a regrouping in ROhan [too anti-climatic for PJ and co I am sure] or how about Aragorn taking off on the Paths of the Dead? <P>Well, anyway, I will admit ex-TTT [finished it last night finally[!] ws a great improvement over the theater version, which left a truly bitter taste in my mouth for all of it's glorious moments.<P>MY scoring is as folloows.<BR> FotR - C<BR>EXT Fotr - A-- or B++<BR>TTT - D [saved from an F only by the scenery and a few good scenes]<BR>Ext TTT - B- <P>So PJ gets decent marks for the extended versions, but should be severly punished somehow for waiting 11 months after the initial hatchet jobs to fix his messes uo!
