lindil, you beat me to it.<P>Hopefever. PJ "improves on" the book? Are you being serious? Now, I am constantly praising Peter Jackson and the whole crew who made the films. I think they are masterpieces of cinema, flawed masterpieces. I remember when Boyens (I think it was her) argued that the film version of 'The Departure of Boromir' was an improvement on the book. I almost cried.<P>Please, if you read this again, reconsider that post, and reply to us on this thread with a more in-depth view of how the film's battles were an improvement.
