The mis-interpretation of dear Gimli

Radio is a completely different media to film. With radio, there is little to no constraint on running time, so almost everything could be included. Also...where in the radio version do we get the brilliant scenery, high quality costumes and props, fight sequences and realistic CGI of the movies?

Different but not without it's own issues -each has it's own advantages and problems - but as for the CGI I think that backfired for me in that I saw so much stuff about how it was done that it made it impossible to suspend my disbelief and so teh Balrod and Shelob were so unscary......

Well that's not their problem haha you chose to see how it was made! I personally think the CGI was well done and suspenseful and not over done like a lot of movies nowadays seem to be.
