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

Well, I've come late to this thread, as usual, but I will post my opinion anyway.<P>For myself, I really liked the movies, though I did make some nitpicky remarks when I watched them, but angry doesn't really sum up my feelings. Hurt, perhaps, or maybe disappointed. I thought that TTT would have followed the story at least as well as FotR, but...I will survive, and I can always read the books and make my own pictures in my head. When I'm reminded, I rant and rave about the differences, like Faramir, and the Elves at Helm's Deep, but mostly, I just enjoy the vision of ME come to life right in front of me. For the first time, I can <I>see</I>, with real physical eyes, Rivendell and Lothlorien and Minas Tirith. I appreciate the work that went into the movies, as an actress myself, I know how hard it is to really live up to a character in a classic story. I just hope that RotK makes up for TTT.<P>I apologize if this was garbled.
