really that good?

You know, I've really been thinking, and as much as it was a good movie, I was quite disappointed with it. It really failed to capture so much of Tolkien. Furthermore, I am horrified at the fact that so many people here at Barrow indicated on that poll that they thought that J.R.R Tolkien would have loved the movie. I would suggest that those who did so read Humphrey Carpenter's biography of Tolkien. Lastly, one of the largest things that Tolkien did so well and that the movie failed in producing was simply this: subtlty.
