I concur. Highly disappointing movie in spite of what the general public thinks. It seems that PJ has created what is merely another cartoon version of the story, albeit one with fantastic sets and great cinematography. I loved several of the characters, especially the hobbits, but the departures from the text and the sheer fabrications were too much for me to stomach. Indeed, most of what was "made up" by PJ was flatly unbelievable and doubtfully plausible given the context of the true story. <BR>I'm sad, and not really looking forward to either of the next 2 films. But! At least I still have some great books to read! PJ can't take anything away from Tolkien!
