Thank you to all for the replies.  |
You're right! PJ and co. seem to misinterprete Professor's work a lot. It can be removed by looking at his work in more depth (than they do originally). With The Hobbit films, I feel, they're trying to make more money(I'm not accusing him of that, please don't get me wrong). Two movies were enough for the book. They give their own "touch" and that entirely different from that of Professor's. I really have no problem with some changes made in Hobbit and LotR movies, but the thing is: if something can be shown directly as it is in the book, why give your own "touch"?
