Yep no one could agree that movie is better than books.I do agree that characters are shallow and non readers would view it as just another story/movie.You have to know the backgrounds of caracters to benefit from film.For instance;who really gave a toss when Gandalf fell in Moria and were they left wondering if he was dead?Doubt it when trailers show him alive and well in sequel! Boromir wasnt featured enough and non readers wouldnt care that he is gone.Think its fantastic for world viewers to see aussie actors like David Wenham and Miranda Otto really puts us on the map...
