Well duh!<BR>I wasn't trying to imply that the two should be completely different, I was merely saying that using hindisight (once we've seen all 3) hopefully we might be able to see that certain plot differences might be beneficial, or more practical to filming. And that keeping to Tolkien's work down to the letter will not necessarily lead to the best film. So people should be open-minded and prepared to sacrifice certain elements of the books to allow the films to be better.<BR>Could you imagine an unabridged audio recording of LoTR, let alone such a faithful film?! It would be agonising, sorry!
