The only way that the movie could improve on the book was to bring greater understanding. Some of the things in the book were hard to picture, on video you get too see it, however on the other hand, this could distort the actual picture that JRRT had in his mind. <P>I don't think that the movie could really inprove on the book. Don't get me wrong, I loved the movie, but as to actually be better then the book, I don't think so. I'm sorry but personally, I didn't like the action sceans, I didn't like Boromir dying, I think they dragged it out way too long. I liked the pace of the book, but I can also see that PJ had to speed things up a bit.
