Sauron the White: I wish I could understand why you are (apparently) so irked or offended by the fact that some people have a different opinion concerning the films than you do. Obviously, no one can dispute that they are popular. But, to speak plainly, what's it to you if Davem or I or anyone else think a poor job was done in certain ways? Surely it's not surprising that the people who are the most avid fans of LotR in its literary form may be among those least enthralled with its cinematic adaptation. Surely the fact that something is popular does not mean it ought not be criticized. And surely the fact that something is inevitable (e.g. the production of a film) does not mean that everybody has to be happy about that fact.
I don't mean to add more kindling to the fire - I'd just like to understand what it is that you're arguing for. Surely not that dissenters are forbidden to have an opinion or are wrong to express it.
