Accuracy of the Movies

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I also think the main reason they did not include every scene was because they needed to make a profit off of the movie. If they included everything the non-LotR fans would not be interested and would not go and see it.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>That, and if they had included everything in the books, you'd wind up with a ten-hour-long movie, which would put a strain on how many times it can be viewed in theaters (once a day? I think not), which would cut into your box-office bucks (unless you charged over $25 per ticket, in which case the movie would never see the light of day). If you don't make money at the box office, you're not going to pay for the film, and that's going to hurt your company, who will then promptly have you murdered (I'm kidding on that last part). So I think it's best that they cut it down to a minimum of three hours.
