Two Frodos - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The images in my mind as I read the books over the years haven't been compromised by the movie. I was very disappointed in the movie. It left far too much out. I am still debating whether it would be a waste of money to see the next two when the first one was so barren of everything that Tolkein put into the three books. The movie has none of the charm of the books. I would not mind visiting Tolkien's middle earth. The movie's middle earth you can keep.

I must confess though, that the scene at the bridge of Khazad=dum was breathtaking. Exactly as I imagined it.
