Faults in Peter Jackson's Interpretation

[Daisy Brambleburr]

Okay, before I start carrying on I've just got to say that I think the movies are great. But being a fan of the books there are obviously some points I didn't like. And, since you ask...<P>Entmoot: It made the Ents look stupid and didn't make too much sense. If Treebeard didn't know about Saruman then why did he call a meeting? <P>The Aragorn-falling-off-a-cliff storyline: to me it seemed pretty pointless. There was almost no tension (the 3rd movie's called Return of the King, people!) and it's only purpose seemed to be to get arwen more screentime (something many of us don't want) and to let Aragorn see the uruk-hai. And to give him that enterance to Helms Deep, which was rather cool, inspite of everything. <P>Nazgul at Ogiliath: Also, it didn't make too much sense. Picture this: Sauron thinks that Merry and Pippin have the Ring or that it's with the Riders of Rohan, so what's going to happen when the Ring turns up on his doorstep? All the Nazgul will be down there in a flash. (i'm sorry if *I'm* the one making no sense. I'm never very good at explaining this point). <P>Merry and Pippin's enterance: Tolkiens made a lot more sense. They tag along to the Ferry, then to Bree, and never seem to go home...
