Why all the anger? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I enjoyed TTT completely, but I too found that many of the changes to me, were changes that did not need to be made. Everyone knows those ones (Faramir, Aragorn falling of the cliff, etc.), especially Faramir, that was one that if they would have gone the book route, would have still been equally entertaining to the Tolkien Purist, and the average moviegoer. I think some of the anger is understandable, because the movie did stray far from the book, much more than FOTR. I too expected it to be closer to the book. It was a good film, but it was not what I thought it would be.
