I agree that taking it as just a movie it isn't that bad. I'm a little biased towards any fault that Peter Jackson had in creating TTT because i've lived with the book so long. But still if he wanted to have his movie he shouldn't try and pass it of as Tolkien. This movie had several huge defects from TTT. As a run of the mill movie standpoint, it wasn't that bad, but it wasn't the TTT. If one atempts to put Tolkien to film he should attempt to stick closer to the book and not invent scenes and reinvent characters not always for the better. It's not as if I want a 15 hour epic, but I think some few critical changes coul have made TTT imeasurabley better. At that riles me. The movie PJ made is either a terrible rendition of Tolkein or a movie that really isn't that bad but isn't TTT.
