What are your thought on the movies? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I am also a little worried about the movies. Of course I will have to go and see them and possess them as soon as they come out in VCD or DVD or whatever, but I am scared that it will not do the book/TOLKIEN justice at all. I don't know about you but I have rarely seen a movie after having read the book and thought it was very good. The main reason I am worried is that so many scenes in the book I have imagined and I have visions of, and these cannot easily be re-created in the film. I agree with coprophage7 about Liv Tyler, as much as she is pretty and a good actress she does not fit the role. I would much prefer most of the actors to be totally unknown. Sorry, Gwenyth Paltrow would do the job as Galadriel or Arwen..... Charming Humble Hobbit
