Your friends excuses for not liking the FOTR - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I first saw the movie with my family. Everyone in my family liked it except my mom. She's the only one in my family who hasn't read the books, and she thought it was to violent. (She also things "The Lion King" is violent, though.) Afterwards, we went to some restaurant and had a long and involved discussion about the difference between the movie and the book (excluding my mom of course, who just went on about how violent the movie was)<P>I went with my friends later and they all liked it. One of my friends hasn't read the book, but she had about 3 or 4 of us telling her what happened. My friends think the movies are better than the books, and I disagree. I better stop here, before I really get started.
