Accurate, huh? Seems to me that "accurate", like so many other terms out there (truth, beauty, good, bad. there are many) is subjective, a matter of interpretation. What's accurate for one person may be totally innacurate for another. Your image of Mordor is probably very different from mine and everyone else's, but that's what makes literature so much fun: discussing the differences with other interested people. That's basically what these movies are, PJ's "discussion" of the movie with us, the viewers. The only difference between his "discussion" and that of, say, someone on the Downs, is that he has the resources to "discuss" it with us in a particularly compelling manner, but it all amounts to the same thing. The Mordor in the movie will be PJ's version of Mordor, and whether it matches anyone else's is yet to be seen.
