The comments and criticisms are typically specific, as are the anti-PJ threads. If one looked at this data, one may note that it is these few scenes and changes that have irked some, and not the entire movie (one in three).

My hope is that someone sees the money that can be made (1) in Middle Earth and (2) doing something not blessed by the Hollywood mindset, and runs with that.

Someone might feel, in a decade or two, that we need to revisit the LOTR and make yet another set of films (if that would even be the media then) and we then would have something new to enjoy and to carp about.

As my real-world example, look at the Dune movies (first as a movie, then and a made-for-TV-movie). The second production was in answer to many of the critizisms of the first (but then that spun its own madness - "they did A in the original movie, and so we are NOT doing A no matter how much sense it makes or how much not A doesn't!")
