Thumbs up

This is so tired. How many times will we debate the changes made in these movies. Even if you are bothered by the changes (Even if your Are Christopher Tolkien) how can these changes stand in the way of your enjoyment of the world on screen. Overall who could have made a better adaptation dealing with the hollywood pressure and common movie tendencies you need to include to make a wide audience appeal to the work. The goal of the movies is two fold, profit and art. Don't let the profit aspect stand in the way of the Art that was brought forth. In saying this I understand The many concerns Chris and BKT's (book first Tolkienities). I will ackknowledge even the moves made that seemed questionable or a strech. None of those changes is enough to discount the sweeping epic that was created. PJ opened the world of middle earth to me, introduced me to Tolkien. I'm glad he did. I Love the Silm just as much as the LOTR.
