Crimes Against Tolkienity

[The Saucepan Man]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I thought that was the whole trashing of Saruman's death scene? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>One of the advantages of spoilers. I've come to terms with it before having to sit though it in the cinema. <P>Seriously, I do have a few gripes. Some are things I would like to have seen done as in the books. Others concern scenes that I don't think work well in the context of the (somewhat different) story told in the films. Like Frodo making to offer the Ring to the Nazgul and Theoden's exorcism (detracting from the character of Wormtongue). And then there are a few aspects where the visualisation is slightly off for me (*coughWargscough*).<P>But, really, these are trivial compared the incredible impact that the films have made on me. They do not detract from my enjoyment in any major sense.
