New movie article - anyone agree?

[Laitoste]

Wow. Well, I now have some more books to add to my reading list (if I ever find any time to read ever again!)!

So, did I enjoy the films at all? Yes, certainly. I just feel they could have been so much better by following Tolkien's very carefully woven plotlines more faithfully, which would have allowed the characters to retain their original attributes rather than devolve into lesser Men and Elves.

My thoughts exactly!
