Parts of this thread beggars belief..were some of u taking notes in the cinema :-)<P>For me films like people have their faults. Nobody or nothing is perfect. FotR was a good film, well acted with superb effects, stunning scenery and great fight scenes.<P>Yeh, I'm sure there were bits which some of the "I've read LOTR 50 times...first when I was 3 years old" brigade will pick faults with but c'mon...geez a break.<P>As others have commented LotR is a massive, complicated tale and if everything was left in as in the book the 3 films would last a week and would gross about 10 quid. PJ has done his best to make a film which will appeal to everybody..not just Tolkien nuts. <P>Why the hell should he make a film to satisy those who think they have more right to JR's work then the rest of Arda.<P>In a nutshell I think people should chill...crack out the popcorn and just enjoy the film. <P>Paul.<p>[ January 02, 2002: Message edited by: GollumsPrecious ]
