All G & WK Scene Haters. You're going to have to live with it. This is the FILM ADAPTATION not the book.

I have a lot of respect for you
Essex, in defending these movies. However, we have a right to find faults in the movies. If someone creates/writes a book/movie they have to accept that it's going to be criticized, no matter how good, or appealing it is to us. Tolkien was criticized a countless amount of times, the characters lack depth, I don't care for the plot, it sounds too biblical...etc. Some people are just attracted to other things then others, I don't agree with those critics, but they pick what they don't like and they show examples to back it up. You, or I, or SpM, or anyone on here, may not agree with those complaints, but if someone tells us why they have a problem with that scene (and I see some reasonable explanations) then I don't see any problem with having complaints about that scene, or any other part in that movie. I do agree that the excuse "it's different from the books," is weak, but there have been other reasons given, why this scene doesn't work.
