Why all the anger?

[The Saucepan Man]

OK. I went to see the film for a second time this week and I've changed my mind. Not radically. I still think that its an excellent film and the visualisation remains its great strength.<P>And I can still understand why some of the storyline was changed and or simply left out.<P>What annoys me is that some of the scenes just don't make sense.<P>Why on earth, for example, does Faramir think its a good idea to let Frodo and Sam go to Mordor after all, when he's just witnessed Frodo almost giving it to a Nazgul? <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I think we finally understand each other, Frodo Baggins <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Surely he should have been saying "What the **** do you think you were you doing? Are you mad? Look. Give it here and I'll take it to Mordor". OK, a radical storyline change, but it would have made more sense in the circumstances.<P>And the Theoden Exorcism scene (cue Theoden head spinning and projectile pea soup). What the **** was Wormtongue there for, if Saruman could just possess Theoden himself?<P>And Aragorn going over the cliff wasn't necessary (did that Warg have lemming genes?). They could have put the Aragorn/Arwen scenes in elsewhere and a scout could have spotted the hordes of orcs approaching.<P>Oh, and I didn't like the Wargs - silly stuffed hyenas with lazy eyes.<P>Other than that, I loved it! <P>No, seriously, I do still think that it was a fantastic film. But now I do understand a bit more some of the irritation felt by others.
