I find that I still picture different landscapes when I read about ME. I liked the ones used in the movie..but for some reason they aren't the same for me when I read.

I thought that the NZ landscape was very raw and young-looking, like some kind of frontier. But my Middle Earth was very ancient, and its rough edges had been mostly smoothed by time and so many events that had crawled across its surface, i.e. cities built and crumbled to dust, wars won and lost, great deeds and massacres. NZ just couldn't quite accomplish that broad sense of ancient and mysterious civilizations, the huge tapestry that we glimpse in LotR's background.
