Tolkien left a lot to be imagined in his description of the Ents, so that makes it very difficult to transfar to screen. In fact, when I read the book I was sure it would be the single most difficult thing they would have to do. And not only that, you know that whatever you come up with is never going to match everyone's mental picture, not by a long shot.<P>That said, I personnaly loved the way Treebeard and the Ents looked. I do not like non-Tolkienite critics bashing them, because what did they want PJ to do? Edit out the Ents altogether because they're "too" otherworldly for their cynical tastes? Give me a break!
