GreyIstar has just left Hobbiton.

I think you all need to get over it. Its movie for PJ's sake. I didn't go in expecting the book. I didn't go in expecting the Fellowship to be the book. It wasn't. Even after that he flat out told you that TTT was going to diverge from the book further than the other 2. I don't see that as mistakes, and I certainly don't see that as destroying. I think a lot of you are just a tad bit naive to think that these movies would be the same. No one would make them the same as the book. Why aren't you guys on here yelling about conversations that took place in Bag End in the book taking place in Moria???? Lets get really anal about it!!! Heck Aragorn is changed. Everyone has been changed save maybe Saruman and Sauron.<P>No the only mistake in Two Towers I saw was a geographical mistake. Legolas said the Orcs were turning North East to Isengard. It should have been North West.<P>The rest is just movie making. If you have that big of a problem with the movie then stick with the book. I am a 1/3 of a way through TT right now and I'm going to see the movie again for a third time soon. The movies aren't as good as the books and thats ok because they are great movies.<P>Dear PJ,<P>Thanks for doing as good a job as I could possibly hope for. It is extremely entertaining and emotional. Even with some notable changes you stick to the feel, themes, and heart that Tolkien was conveying in his book. For that it makes these movies carry more weight than 99% of movies made. Id like to thank you for helping induce a major rise in book sales, and put the beloved book back into the spot light. I'm sorry to hear you won't be doing the hobbit after LOTR because I can't imagine anyone else being able to put Middle-Earth on screen better than you.<P>Sincerely a fan of both the books and the movies.<P>Put that on the end of your complaint letter and entitle it Appendix A.
