My list of everything wrong with the movies (Not EE)

[Miriel Undomiel]

I think the theatrical versions are good. and the EE's are better.

Excellent way to put it, Starcat! Nice and simple... I totally agree!

*Ehem* Well, if you abridged me a whole lot, that's basically how I feel too.

Hey, if you want anything profound out of me, you'll have to visit with me at Narnia web site. I'm better at keeping things short then I am at expounding my full reasons. :-)

Geez... this is really getting quite annoying...
The dude took eight years of his life to adapt a thousand-something pages book, ya can't expect him to follow every, single, darn word! If so, he'd probably have to make one movie for every three or four chapters, and seriously, who'd want to sit through all of Tom Bombadil's silly songs? At least he actually took the time to make the films, let's see you do better, and if ya don't like it, then just don't watch it! They actually gave some excuses concerning some of the changes, and most of those excuses are really acceptable... but if you're just too stubborn to accept them, then like my history teacher used to say: "Too bad, so sad, tear "

[Knight of Gondor]

Yeah, but they have the right to critique the movie. I just get to defend it! I have a few issues with the movie too, of course, I think it is far from perfect. I just think that this version is pretty much the best that Hollywood could have given us.

I agree with that. At times it does get annoying, but there's no problem with a little intelligent critisicm.

At least he actually took the time to make the films, let's see you do better, and if ya don't like it, then just don't watch it!

I don't agree with that. If all you had to say was 'you couldn't do it any better, so it must've been good & above reproach', then life would be to easy.

Some of the excuses are acceptable, some of them are tolerable. Some fo them are stupid. But just because someone doesn't agree with the excuses they give doesn't make the person stubborn, it just means that they either don't buy the excuse or they don't agree with it, & they're entitled to that.

Geez... this is really getting quite annoying...

But you have to look at it from the other side, too. It might get annoying for you to hear nitpicking, but it also might get annoying to them to be accused of being stubborn & ungrateful.
