I think that PJ pretty succesfully adapted FotR to the silverscreen, & came close with TTT, but not quite. My expectations going into RotK have diffinatly been lowered, mostly because I expected roughly the same 'booktuality' in the TTT movie as in FotR. Now that I know that PJ won't hesitate to make large changes in the course of developing the movie, I'm expecting a lots of little devations from the book (or course), & probably 1 or 2 larger ones. Hopefully I can avoid getting hung up on the changes, & I think I probably can, but if there's another change like Faramir in TTT, it's a little hard not to be constintly thinking how this fairly major thing & that trip never happened, etc. Oh well, I can try my best .
