I thought I was going to see something of the same intellectual & philosophical depth as the books.

Well my intellectual friend, it seems that you have been badly misinformed about lots more than just this one film. Some other time, when we both have much more time, allow me to explain how a book is one thing while a film - any film - is quite another. If you expected one medium to give you some of the unique qualities found in the other medium, then you have been misinformed about the nature and limits of the medium. But we can discuss all that.
That 1944 LOTR film was tremendous. Thank you for the link on that one. It was really great and I enjoyed every second of it. Today I paid $8 to see SWEENEY TODD and really needed a good laugh.
I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
