My greatest worry is how they'll handle Faramir. According to a recent Newsweek article, Faramir leads a suicide mission to prove his worth to his father. I always liked the way Tolkien had it, in that Faramir and Eowyn fall in love. I saw that as the beginning of the healing process after the war, and if Jackson really does leave that out, then I'll feel as if there's a story line left hanging at the end of the movies. But then, I don't think Eowyn seemed too enamoured with Aragorn in the movies, so I suppose it won't be too bad.<P>Another change I'm not to happy about is Jackson's decision to cut out the Scouring of the Shire. In my opinion, this was one of the best scenes in the whole book, but if he left it out, then I suppose he must have had a reason in doing so.<P>However, no matter what changes Jackson makes, I'm sure the movie is going to be splendid. Despite the changes in the first two movies that rattled me at first, I feel that they were (and are) both extremely well made and carefully crafted works of art.
