Both TFoTR and TTT were INCREDIBLY wonderful films... if you simply divorce yourselves from the details of the books!! A film of any story is an INTERPRETATION, so you have to EXPECT that there are going to be some differences! JP did an AMAZING job of capturing the SPIRIT of the books... even if some of the little details were changed. You can all sit here and talk about how you would have filmed this differently.. well, then DO it! I challenge you! This had been JP's dream for 30-some years, and he made it come true! How many of you are making your dreams come true.<P>I don't mean to be harsh... although I know it's going to come across that way in mere words. However! I simply can't understand how you can all be so critical, so judgemental!<P>What JP did, in a sense, was bring this incredible story out to a wider audience! Hurray!! Book sales have SOARED since TFoTR was released! Isn't that FANTASTIC!?!<P>Personally, I thought that the way Arwen was portrayed in the movie was great.. and will help the audience to better understand and relate to her marriage to Aragorn in RoTK!<P>When one of you critics makes his own movie, PLEASE let me know! I'll be the first in line! But, until then, I am happy and pleased to see JP's fine versions!
