I completely agree Saucepan.<P>As for this ...<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> It has been my experience that many of the people who have seen the movies, but haven't read the books, love it but for all the wrong reasons. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I would argue that people that haven't read the books enjoy the movies for all the <B>right</B> reasons. They are not perpetually comparing apples to oranges and pretending that the film would be better if it were more true to the books. Books are books, films are films. For a basis of comparison you should be matching Jackson's films with other films, especially in the fantasy genre. Then you will be comparing apples to apples.<P>Movie fans do this automatically, but many book fans seem to be having trouble with this.<P>H.C.
