Ok - who has said, on this forum or anywhere else, that the LotR movies are not very good because they were not faithful to the books? I thought they were ok. There were bits that I found quite impressive - especially on a first viewing. Unfortunately there were also bits that I found annoying, unnecessary & pointless. Now I can't summon up the energy to even care about them. If other people feel differently I don't have any problem with that.

Yes, books & films are different things. Yes, even the most faithful adaptation will inevitably change some things. No-one has ever said any different.

Perhaps the reason so few people cared to post is that the discussion has been had so often on here that no-one has anything to say that they haven't already said three dozen times.....
