I do agree that this would be a major change. However, I am less optimistic about the results as you are Saucepan Man and others.<P>Our very first impression of Sauron (think back to the prologue of the Fellowship) is that he is completely powerless without the Ring. After all, he vanishes when it is cut off his finger by Isildur. I'm sure we're all aware that this in itself is faulty but nevermind.<P>Why then does Sauron, without the Ring, suddenly reappear as a physical being?<P>Another thing I'm not comfortable with is having Sauron mess Aragorn around, which seems to me a classic 'bad movie' mistake. We've all seen them. The villain pummells the hero for a good few minutes instead of actually killing him. If it does happen I hope Jackson makes it believable.<P>One question. Do any of you guys feel that what happened in the book lacked tension? Because it seems perfect to me already, even without Sauron present on the battlefield.<P>I don't know. I hope it will be done well. I'm sure it will be (I love the first 2 movies despite their 'flaws' ) I'm just slightly worried that the movie team are trying to give the story a classic 'Hollywood ending.' (If anyone at all understands what I'm trying to say then congratulations!)<p>[ August 29, 2003: Message edited by: Eomer of the Rohirrim ]
