Seems that as P.J. goes along he's making more & more changes in storylines, characters, events, chronology. Just how far can he go & still justify calling these movies Lord of the Rings?<BR>Seems to me that with all the fantasy novels out there that are just rip off's of LotR, maybe he should have made a movie of one of them.<BR>P.s Didn't like the bit on the commentary where one of them said they thought their depiction of Boromir's death was better than the book. Where do these people get off.<BR>Don't get me wrong, I love the films, as FILMS in their own right. But they aren't films of LotR.
