'An attrocious movie which is a despicable insult to a wonderful book' - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The books and movies are quite different and I know that many people think that the books have been 'twisted' and such, and that is a valid opinion, but, it is a movie!<P> Movies based on books never seem to be as good as the actual books(not any that I have seen anyways), and movies need to be different from the books. They cannot explain everything in as much detail as the books because of time constraints, and they cannot explain how the people feel, the directors must rely on the actors to do a good job. <P>The LOTR books are very different from the movies, and I cannot truthfully say that I was not mad when they took out some parts(or added some even). I like the books and the movies, because they feel like two different stories on the same subject, and they both have aspects that the others did not talk about as much.
