Caused by the ring? Are you thinking of a different book? I'm confused.

I watched Spiderman 2 last night, and I don't think Raimi has what it takes to capture the spirit of Tolkien, at all, at all. I saw badly blended CGI and too-bright colors; nothing like the beauty of LOTR. Even though Parker clearly was a character one should be able to empathize with, I didn't; it left me cold.
Of course, I hear Raimi's going to be fliming Spiderman movies all next year in any event; but the fact that they offered it to him indicates what direction NL is thinking of going. don't you think?
